NOTE: When you use SFP+ direct attach cables with your EX Series switches, we
recommend that you use only Juniper Networks SFP+ direct attach cables.
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 into two SFP+ modules, 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 up to 10 Gbps.
Table 35 on page 85 describes the cable specifications.
