ACX7100 Cloud Metro Routers

Juniper Networks® ACX7100 Cloud Metro Routers are designed to help operators achieve their capital, operational, and differentiated user experience goals. Part of the Juniper Networks ACX7000 Family of routers, the ACX7100 line delivers exceptional TCO and investment protection. It supports Juniper® Cloud Metro solutions for 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud applications, making it ideal for service provider, enterprise, data center, and residential use cases requiring high-density, power-efficient platforms.

The ACX7100 line offers groundbreaking performance and power efficiency in a compact 1 U footprint. They deliver 4.8 Tbps of forwarding capacity and cloud-inspired native port speeds that include 400GbE interfaces. The integrated low-speed and high-speed port variety, density, and flexibility provide scale for long-term network transformation. The ACX7100 routers come with redundant, field replaceable 6x fans and 2x AC or DC power supply options. A cost-effective and efficient thermal design enables unrestricted high-power ZR/ZR+ transceiver use across all supporting ports. The ACX7100 routers come in two models—ACX7100-32C and ACX7100-48L—each equipped to address the challenges and opportunities of today and tomorrow. 

ACX7100-32C: The ACX7100-32C delivers high-end multiservices in a 1 U fixed, compact (60 cm deep), and power-efficient footprint. It provides 4.8 Tbps forwarding capacity, supports 32 ports of 40GbE/100GbE and 4 ports of 400GbE, making it ideal for applications that require a dense fan-out option. This platform supports full line-rate Media Access Control Security (MACsec) encryption on all ports and provides efficient cooling with front-to-back airflow design. 

ACX7100-48L: The ACX7100-48L provides 4.8 Tbps throughput for high-end multiservices in a 1 U fixed and power-efficient footprint. It is designed for applications that require dense port distribution in a small (60 cm deep) footprint. It supports cloud-inspired service rates and port-by-port configuration of native 10GbE, 25GbE, and 50GbE on all 48 ports, including 6 ports of 400GbE enabling operators to perform today’s most common upgrades on a port-by-port basis. The 100GbE port speed is supported through breakout connectivity on 4 x 400GbE ports. The dual front-to-back and back-to-front airflow design makes this platform ideal for data center use cases. 

The ACX7100 platforms support 5G and Juniper Cloud Metro solutions, and they are designed for service provider, enterprise, wholesale, and data center use cases.

The ACX7100 routers are engineered for sustainability to address the challenges of evolving service requirements and relentless traffic growth imposed by 5G, IoT, and the cloud era. With the ACX7100, providers are primed and ready to thrive in today’s competitive marketplace.
