Cable Specifications
OCX1100 switches support SFP+ passive direct attach cables. The passive Twinax cable
is a straight cable with no active electronic components. OCX1100 switches support cable
lengths of 3 ft (1 m) and 10 ft (3 m) long SFP+ passive direct attach cables.
Table 30 on page 51 describes the support for SFP+ passive direct attach cable lengths
on OCX1100 switches for Junos OS releases.

NOTE: We recommend that you use only SFP+ direct attach cables purchased
from Juniper Networks with your Juniper Networks device.
CAUTION: If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses
a third-party optic or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center
(JTAC) can help you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer
might recommend that you check the third-party optic or cable and potentially
replace it with an equivalent Juniper Networks optic or cable that is qualified
for the device.
The cables are hot-removable and hot-insertable: You can remove and replace them
without powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions. A cable comprises a
low-voltage cable assembly that connects directly to two SFP+ ports, one at each end
of the cable. The cables use high-performance integrated duplex serial data links for
bidirectional communication and are designed for data rates of up to 10 Gbps.
Table 31 on page 52 describes the cable specifications.
