Description

The Juniper SFP-GE40KT15R13 is a 1000BASE-BX BiDi SFP transceiver designed for Gigabit Ethernet over a single strand of single-mode fibre at distances up to 40 km. Operating as a BX Downlink module with a Tx wavelength of 1550 nm and Rx wavelength of 1310 nm, it must be paired with a complementary Uplink SFP (such as the SFP-GE40KT13R15) to complete the bidirectional link — making it ideal for enterprises and service providers looking to halve fibre infrastructure costs over long campus or metropolitan spans.

The module supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) for real-time visibility into optical parameters such as temperature, voltage, and optical power. It connects via a single LC simplex interface, operates across a standard commercial temperature range of 0–70°C, and is compatible with Juniper E120, E320, M-series, MX-series, and T-series platforms. MSA-compliant and built for reliable long-reach deployments.

Features

- BiDi operation transmits and receives over a single optical fibre strand, halving fibre infrastructure requirements
- BX Downlink designation (Tx 1550 nm / Rx 1310 nm) — pair with a BX Uplink SFP (e.g. SFP-GE40KT13R15) at the remote end
- Supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM) for real-time optical performance visibility
- Single LC simplex connector for simplified cabling
- Supports Gigabit Ethernet at up to 40 km over single-mode fibre
- Compatible with Juniper E120, E320, M-series, MX-series, and T-series platforms
- Standard commercial operating temperature range: 0°C to 70°C
- MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) SFP compliant

FAQs

Q: What does 'BiDi' mean, and why does this transceiver use a single fibre strand?
A: BiDi (bidirectional) transceivers transmit and receive over a single optical fibre strand using two different wavelengths — in this case, Tx 1550 nm and Rx 1310 nm. This halves the fibre cabling required compared to conventional duplex transceivers, reducing infrastructure costs across long-distance links.

Q: What complementary transceiver must I pair with the SFP-GE40KT15R13?
A: As a BX Downlink module (Tx 1550 nm / Rx 1310 nm), it must be paired with a BX Uplink transceiver such as the Juniper SFP-GE40KT13R15 (Tx 1310 nm / Rx 1550 nm) at the remote end. Mismatched wavelengths will prevent the link from establishing.

Q: Which Juniper platforms are compatible with this transceiver?
A: The SFP-GE40KT15R13 is compatible with a broad range of Juniper platforms including E120, E320, M-series, MX-series, and T-series routers. Always verify compatibility against your specific platform's hardware compatibility list before deployment.

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

Q: Can I use this transceiver in a third-party switch or router?
A: The SFP-GE40KT15R13 is an OEM Juniper Networks part programmed for Juniper platforms. While it is MSA-compliant, its compatibility with third-party equipment is not guaranteed and is not recommended for production use outside of certified Juniper hardware.

Q: Can I purchase this transceiver in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) supplies Juniper transceivers and ships across Australia. Contact the team for pricing, availability, and volume pricing on multi-unit orders.
