There are two points I would like to make . 1. 3rd party DACs / Twinax cables are supported on QFX3500 standalone switch as well as QFX3000 QFabric system. The release that supports 3rd party DACs in QFX3500 are 11.3R3 and 11.R4 and future releases will also support 3rd party DACs . QFABRIC has supported 3rd party DACs since its first release 113R1 . Please refer to the following link

In terms of 3rd party optics support , we are evaluating the support for 3rd party optics . Please continue to check the Juniper documentation and talk to your account team for roadmap information .
