The JNP-40G-AOC compatible series is designed for Juniper Networks hosts requiring a 40G AOC connection. Its direct-attach arrangement is supplied as a complete optical assembly with permanently attached ends and integrated fiber. Use the specifications to assess the physical assembly, then follow the exact length and part-number links when preparing a bill of materials or requesting a compatibility check.
Series Part Number: JNP-40G-AOCHT Part Number: JNP-40G-AOC
The documented configurations are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft) and 50m (164ft). Each link below opens the separate product page for that physical length and its corresponding OEM part number. Select the exact assembly required by the route and purchase order; custom project lengths can be discussed separately.

Active optical cables integrate optical engines and fiber into a single factory-terminated link. They provide a lighter, longer-reach alternative to copper direct attach without requiring separate transceiver and patch-cord selection. The complete assembly should be routed with bend protection and connected only between compatible optical standards and port modes. For this series, the listed interface is the stated interface and the aggregate rate is 40G.
The verification process combines digital identification with a live link test and diagnostic observation. Host model, hardware revision and software release are useful inputs because qualification behavior can change between platform generations; those details allow platform-specific requirements to be reviewed before the cable is packed. Series-level inspection is followed by the exact length and OEM configuration selected for dispatch. Functional verification includes link establishment and diagnostic indications where the host exposes them.
The specification table records the jacket material is OFNP; the minimum bend radius is 30mm. Use those values when preparing the rack pathway and receiving checklist. Do not pull a connector by its cable, compress the run under tight ties or force excess length into a sharp coil. Connector protection should remain in place until the assembly is ready for insertion.
Check three layers before deployment: the host must accept the cable identification, the port must support the stated aggregate rate, and the lane configuration must match the attached interfaces. On breakout hardware, also confirm channelization and the mapping of every branch. These checks are particularly important when similar-looking ports operate at different speeds or under different firmware settings. For this series, keep the interface rate, AOC construction and length-specific OEM reference together throughout that review.
Specify the OEM part number and fixed length, then provide the intended host configuration if the link uses channelized or breakout ports. Separate part numbers should be used for separate lengths. This gives the compatibility review enough information to check both the physical assembly and the intended operating mode. For this series, follow the corresponding length link, quote that exact OEM part number and keep different lengths on separate order lines. HT part number JNP-40G-AOC identifies the product family; the linked page provides the final length-specific identity.
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
Functional inspection covers identification, link establishment and the condition of both connector assemblies. The cable is then protected against dust and connector damage and packed without sharp bends. Labels can include the customer reference and host-platform note when requested for a controlled deployment. Both connector ends are inspected as part of the complete assembly, and protective packing is selected to avoid tight bends during transport and storage.
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible cable for equipment that specifies JNP-40G-AOC, not an original Juniper Networks-branded product.
Yes. Where a length has its own OEM reference, follow the corresponding link above and order that exact part number on its own line. Do not substitute another length only because the connector arrangement is the same.
No. The connector ends and cable form one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable standalone transceivers, and the complete product is tested together.
Provide the equipment manufacturer and model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the required OEM reference, length and quantity. Breakout projects should also identify the intended lane configuration.
