About the QFX-SFP-10GE-SR
The Juniper QFX-SFP-10GE-SR optical transceiver is engineered for dense top-of-rack data center switching and spine leaf fabric architectures. Delivering 10 Gigabit Ethernet over multimode optical fibre up to 300 meters on OM3 and 400 meters on OM4, it provides low latency server and storage connectivity with low electrical power consumption.
Compatibility
Compatible with Juniper QFX5100, QFX5110, QFX5120, QFX5200 Series switches, as well as MX Series routers and high performance SRX firewalls. It supports digital optical diagnostics under Junos OS for monitoring transceiver operational health and optical integrity.
How to identify a genuine unit
Constructed in an SFP+ form factor metal casing with a black optical extraction latch bail indicating 850nm short-reach optical transceivers. The product label states Juniper Networks branding, part number QFX-SFP-10GE-SR, assembly code 740-031980, and serial number.
Buying used
Inspect optical transmit and receive bores with a fiber microscope to verify lack of contamination. Connect to an active QFX switch cage to confirm that Junos OS identifies the part without optics alarms and that receive optical power metrics remain within factory tolerances.

Works together
How the Juniper QFX-SFP-10GE-SR 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.
