How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series Juniper-Compatible JNP-QSFP-100G-SR4 QSFP28 Transceiver

1. Power down the host device or verify hot-swapping guidelines with your equipment vendor. If your network device supports hot-swapping, you can proceed without powering down, but ensure you follow your organization’s change-control procedures.

2. Remove any existing transceiver from the QSFP28 slot with care, or prepare the empty slot for installation. Align the module with the slot orientation, ensuring the optical face is oriented correctly for your fiber cabling plan. Gently slide the transceiver into the slot until the internal latch engages securely.

3. Prepare your MMF cable with a clean MTP/MPO connector. Verify fiber polarity and cleanliness to prevent end-face contamination, which can degrade link integrity. Insert the MMF cable into the transceiver’s MTP/MPO receptacle until it seats firmly and the connector latching mechanism confirms proper engagement.

4. Reconnect power or trigger the device’s hot-swap sequence, and monitor the link status indicators on the host device. Use your network management software or the device’s CLI/GUI to confirm that the transceiver is recognized as 100GBase-SR4 and that the channel shows an active link with acceptable signal strength.

5. Perform a basic connectivity test, such as a loopback or throughput test, to verify end-to-end data transmission. Validate that the 100 Gbps path remains stable under expected traffic patterns and that the MMF link length and fiber quality meet your design requirements. If any alarms appear, recheck fiber connections, polarity, and ensure the device firmware is up to date for optimal SR4 operation.
