Description

The EX-SFP-GE40KT15R13-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Juniper EX-SFP-GE40KT15R13. This BiDi SFP transceiver operates in industrial temperature environments from -40°C to 85°C and integrates seamlessly into Juniper network infrastructure. - 1000BASE-BX40-D standard compliance ensures interoperability with IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet networks - Transmits at 1550nm and receives at 1310nm over a single strand of 9/125µm single-mode fibre, up to 40km - SFP MSA compliant form factor with simplex LC connector and hot-pluggable design - Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) provides real-time access to optical power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage - Industrial temperature rating (-40°C to 85°C) supports deployment in harsh environments including outdoor cabinets, industrial control networks, and extreme climate locations - Must be paired with a complementary 1000BASE-BX40-U transceiver (Tx 1310nm/Rx 1550nm) such as the EX-SFP-GE40KT13R15 at the opposite end of the fibre link

Features

• IEEE 802.3z and 1000BASE-BX40-D compliance guarantees compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet equipment and correct wavelength pairing for downstream (D) BiDi links
• WDM technology with 1550nm DFB laser transmitter and 1310nm PIN receiver enables bidirectional communication over a single fibre strand, reducing fibre infrastructure requirements by 50%
• 17 dB minimum optical budget accommodates typical single-mode fibre attenuation and connector losses across the full 40km distance specification
• Industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) extends operating envelope beyond commercial-grade modules (0°C to 70°C), with thermal management suitable for sealed outdoor enclosures and unstabilised environments
• Hot-pluggable SFP footprint allows field installation and replacement without powering down host equipment, supporting maintenance windows and rapid fault isolation
• DDM via SFF-8472 exposes real-time optical transmit power, receive power, module temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage for proactive link monitoring and troubleshooting
• Must operate in a complementary wavelength pair: this downstream (D) unit transmits 1550nm and receives 1310nm, requiring an upstream (U) module with opposite pairing at the remote end

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the Juniper EX-SFP-GE40KT15R13?
A: Yes. This transceiver is built to the 1000BASE-BX40-D standard with SFP form factor, 1.25 Gbps data rate, and the correct 1550nm Tx / 1310nm Rx wavelength pairing. It is plug-and-play compatible with Juniper platforms that support the EX-SFP-GE40KT15R13 and operates across the full industrial temperature range.

Q: Which Juniper platforms support this transceiver?
A: This module works in Juniper switches, routers, and other equipment with SFP ports that support 1000BASE-BX BiDi optics. Common applications include EX series switches and devices requiring 1GbE connectivity over single-strand fibre. Verify that your platform supports BiDi transceivers and operates within the gigabit SFP electrical interface specification.

Q: What is the difference between the 1000BASE-BX40-D and 1000BASE-BX40-U variants?
A: The D (downstream) and U (upstream) designations define wavelength pairing. This EX-SFP-GE40KT15R13-BCC is the D variant: it transmits at 1550nm and receives at 1310nm. It must be paired with a U variant (such as the EX-SFP-GE40KT13R15) which transmits at 1310nm and receives at 1550nm. Two D or two U modules cannot communicate with each other.

Q: What fibre type and quality is required for reliable 40km operation?
A: This transceiver requires OS2-rated single-mode fibre (9/125µm) with a minimum optical budget of 17 dB. Actual reach depends on fibre attenuation (typically 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm and 0.40 dB/km at 1310nm), splice and connector losses, and margin for ageing. Use low-loss connectors, maintain clean end faces, and avoid excessive bends to preserve link budget over long distances.

Q: Can I deploy this transceiver in outdoor or uncontrolled environments?
A: Yes. The industrial temperature rating of -40°C to 85°C qualifies this module for outdoor cabinets, roadside installations, factory floors, mining sites, and other locations where ambient temperature fluctuates outside the 0°C to 70°C commercial range. Ensure the host equipment also supports industrial temperature operation and that the enclosure provides adequate ventilation for sustained high-temperature conditions.
