About the QFX-SFP-10GE-LR
The Juniper QFX-SFP-10GE-LR optical transceiver provides long-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for data center campus interconnects and inter-facility spine fabrics. Utilizing a 1310 nanometer DFB laser transmitter over single mode optical fibre, it achieves clean signal transport up to 10 kilometers without requiring external optical amplifiers.
Compatibility
Compatible with Juniper QFX5100, QFX5110, QFX5120, QFX5200 Series switches, MX Series edge routers, and enterprise SRX firewalls. It integrates with Junos OS CLI and Junos Space management platforms for comprehensive telemetry and diagnostic event tracking.
How to identify a genuine unit
Housed in an SFP+ metallic enclosure featuring a blue extraction latch bail designating longwave single mode optical operation. The top label clearly shows Juniper Networks, part number QFX-SFP-10GE-LR, engineering number 740-031981, and laser safety class 1 compliance.
Buying used
Examine the dual LC optical receptacle for mechanical integrity and clean lens surfaces. Test the module in a Junos switch to ensure instantaneous optical link establishment and confirm that transmitter power output registers between minus 8.2 and plus 0.5 dBm.

Works together
How the Juniper QFX-SFP-10GE-LR connects to servers, storage and the network: 3 ways, with the hardware on each path.
iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over Ethernet
Keep the speed the same at all three points: a 25GbE server, a 25GbE switch port and a 25GbE array port. Mixed speeds work but the slowest link sets the pace.
