ACX7020 Cloud Metro Router

The Juniper Networks® ACX7000 family of Cloud Metro routers is designed to help operators achieve their capital, operational, and user experience goals. Part of the Juniper Networks ACX7000 family of routers, the ACX7020 delivers exceptional TCO and investment protection. It also supports Juniper® Cloud Metro for 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud applications. This router is ideal for service provider, enterprise, and cable and residential use cases requiring an industrial-rated, highly flexible, compact, multiservice platform.

ACX7020, from the ACX7000 family, is a compact, fixed, 1U (23.5 cm deep), high-performance multiservice router.

Designed for Cloud Metro deployments in industrial temperature environments, it incorporates integrated fans (N+1 redundancy) for side-to-side airflow. It comes with 2x fixed AC or dual input DC power supplies. Its cost-effective and efficient thermal design, which includes optional conformal coating, enables the usage of high-power SFP28 and SFP+ transceivers on all supporting ports. It incorporates precision timing capabilities, including advanced Class C timing for low-latency 5G services and EMI/RFI shield with the optional conformal coating for best-in-class network experience. It supports next-generation protocols, including segment routing, SRv6, MPLS, and Ethernet VPN (EVPN), as well as any overlay, underlay, or service. The AXC7020 delivers service-assured network slicing, network intelligence, and Juniper Paragon Automation for network efficiency and operational simplicity.

ACX7020 is an industrial-rated (I-Temp) multiservice router. Next-generation silicon delivers 100 Gbps of throughput, a comprehensive feature set, and the scale needed to support today and tomorrow’s performance and bandwidth requirements. The ACX7020 router’s fixed ports include four multi-rate (SFP28) ports (each configurable as 1GbE, 10GbE, and 25GbE) and 16 multirate (SFP+) ports (each configurable as 1GbE or 10GbE) enabling operators to perform today’s most common upgrades on a port-by-port basis. The four SFP28 ports can be used as 25GbE uplinks are available to support scale.

The Cloud Metro-ready ACX7020 is engineered for sustainability. It addresses the challenges of evolving service requirements and relentless traffic growth imposed by 4G/5G, IoT, and cloud applications, turning them into opportunities for operators to thrive.
