What Juniper calls LH is what the rest of the (Cisco following) world
calls ZX. What Cisco calls LH is actually an alias for LX, more or less.
The original LX spec was only for 2km, so when a 10km version of the
same optic came along Cisco called it LH. Eventually everyone
standardized on the 10km version to the point that nobody even remembers
the 2km version any more, and now Cisco calls it LX/LH and everyone else
just calls it LX.

Just search for ZX SFP, you'll find an infinite supply of them for
cheap.

Or you could pay a few bucks more and get a 100km budget version of the
same thing, etc.
