We've used a combination of Cisco, Juniper and Finisar SFP's with only one issue:
Some Finisar 1Gb will also operate at 4Gb in the EX4500's as they support fiberchannel at 4Gb, and can't be "dialed-down". Depends on the model. Cisco's have been fine. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Tinka [mailto:mark.ti...@seacom.mu] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2014 10:14 AM To: Chris Gotzmann Cc: juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: Re: [j-nsp] Using Cisco SFP's on Juniper 4500's On Friday, September 12, 2014 03:53:32 PM Chris Gotzmann wrote: > Mark, > That makes no sense logically.

I'm thinking it's because the Cisco copper SFP can run only at 1Gbps, while a properly coded Juniper one (or a Cisco one that will work) supports tri-rate, given the Tejas did not do anything faster than 100Mbps.
