About the QFX-SFP-25G-LR
The Juniper QFX-SFP-25G-LR optical transceiver offers high performance 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity across metropolitan networks and data center campus backbones. Operating at 1310 nanometers on single mode optical fibre, it enables low latency high bandwidth connections up to 10 kilometers for distributed spine leaf architectures.
Compatibility
Compatible with Juniper QFX5120, QFX5200, QFX5220 switches, and MX Series routing platforms equipped with SFP28 ports. It integrates seamlessly with Junos OS telemetry tools for active monitoring of optical receive power and transmitter operating temperature.
How to identify a genuine unit
Housed in an SFP28 metallic shell featuring a blue extraction latch bail that designates longwave single mode optical transmission. The top label bears Juniper Networks branding, part number QFX-SFP-25G-LR, assembly code 740-063232, and regulatory safety markers.
Buying used
Inspect optical lenses for scratch marks or debris using a fiber inspection tool. Connect the module to a 25GbE SFP28 port with RS-FEC configured to verify immediate link synchronization and validate that optical power telemetry values remain within normal operational limits.

Works together
How the Juniper QFX-SFP-25G-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.
