Juniper SFP-GE10KT15R13 | 1GbE BiDi SFP Transceiver, SMF, 10km, Tx1550/Rx1310, DOWNLINK

Q: What is the difference between the SFP-GE10KT15R13 and SFP-GE10KT13R15?
A: The SFP-GE10KT15R13 is the DOWNLINK module (Tx 1550 nm / Rx 1310 nm), while the SFP-GE10KT13R15 is the UPLINK module (Tx 1310 nm / Rx 1550 nm). These two must be paired at opposite ends of a single-mode fibre span to form a complete 1GbE BiDi link.

Q: Can this transceiver operate over a standard dual-strand fibre patch cable?
A: No. The SFP-GE10KT15R13 uses BiDi (WDM) technology and requires only a single strand of single-mode fibre via an LC Simplex connection. Using a dual-strand cable would require an adapter, and only one strand would carry traffic.

Q: Which Juniper platforms is this transceiver compatible with?
A: The SFP-GE10KT15R13 is compatible with Juniper Networks MX, M, T, E, and ERX series routers and switches that support standard SFP ports. It is also MSA-compliant, which may allow use in third-party SFP-compatible equipment.

Q: Does this module support Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM)?
A: Yes, the SFP-GE10KT15R13 supports DDM (also known as DOM), allowing network administrators to monitor real-time optical parameters such as transmit/receive power, temperature, voltage, and bias current directly from the device management interface.

Q: Is this transceiver suitable for outdoor or industrial deployments?
A: The SFP-GE10KT15R13 is rated for standard commercial temperatures (0°C to 70°C) and is best suited for indoor or controlled-environment deployments. For harsh or industrial environments requiring extended temperature ranges, a different variant would be required.

Q: Can I purchase this transceiver in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. The Juniper SFP-GE10KT15R13 is available to order directly from iptrading.com.au. IP Trading is an Australian-owned and operated B2B IT hardware reseller with over two decades of experience supplying networking equipment to Australian businesses.
