Hi Rowan,
Yes, you really need QSA because of the interface form factor.
MX10K3 uses QSFP transceiver form factor for 40G and 100G, and you want to use a SFPP transceiver for the 10G ER.

Hi There,
We would like to use ER optics natively on our MX10003,
According to this page MX10003 Hardware Compatibility | Juniper Networks Pathfinder
... this part SFPP-10G-ER-C (Part Number: 740-031983) SFPP-10G-ER-C | Juniper Networks Pathfinder Hardware Compatibility Tool
... can be used without the Caveat "Use the QSA adapter to convert a 40-Gbps port to a 10-Gbps or a 1-Gbps port"
Has anybody had experience with this transceiver and confirm this is indeed the case and not a documentation error or mis-print?
Can it be used on the MX10003 without the MAM1Q00A-QSA adapter?
Regards,
