Description

After checking https://apps.juniper.net/hct/product/?prd=EX4400-48T, notice that it doesn't list 40GE-LX4 OM3 100M transceivers.

Symptoms

Need to use QSFP+40GE-LX4 (Part Number: 740-056705) for EX4400-48T platform.

Solution

The QSFP+40GE-LX4 transceiver (Part Number: 740-056705) is supported on the EX4400-48T platform (also categories: 24T, 24X, 48F, etc), refer to the following documentation for additional details.

 JNP-QSFP-40G-LX4 | Part Number: 740-056705

https://apps.juniper.net/hct/model/?component=JNP-QSFP-40G-LX4

Introduced Release: Junos OS 23.4R1

 

Important Note:

The above technical documentation about JNP-QSFP-40G-LX4 transceiver does not list it as supported (this will be corrected soon) on the EX4400-48T platform; the same happens on the following Official Documentation for the Supported Hardware which does not list JNP-QSFP-40G-LX4 transceiver (this will be corrected soon) on the EX4400-48T platform.

 EX4400-48T - List of hardware components supported on the product along with its introduced software releases.

https://apps.juniper.net/hct/product/?prd=EX4400-48T

 

Keep in mind that the QSFP+40GE-LX4 transceiver (Part Number: 740-056705) is supported and already confirmed as compatible SFP for EX4400-48T platform (also categories: 24T, 24X, 48F, etc).

 

I am including the following output from a EX4400-48T platform for reference:

root@switch> show chassis hardware

QSFP+40GE-LX4 transceiver (Part Number: 740-056705) is displayed on "show chassis hardware" output as expected.
