ACX5000 routers also offer service virtualization on a dedicated and customizable KVM-compliant virtual machine that can execute operational scripts and programs for network performance monitoring and analysis.

The ACX4000 Universal Metro Router is a 2.5U, actively cooled access router that is environmentally hardened for field deployment. This versatile, high-performance mobile access platform runs on the Junos operating system.

The ACX4000 has two modular interface card (MIC) slots that can house 16 T1/E1 ports, six GbE copper/fiber combination ports, or four CHOC3/STM-1 ports, creating a mobile access platform versatile enough for any deployment. Besides two MIC slots, the platform also provides a number of fixed ports that include 2 x 10GbE, 2 x GbE SFP, or 8 x GbE combination (copper/fiber).

This universal access routing solution is optimized to enhance the mobile subscriber experience while significantly improving network monetization for service providers.

The ACX2200 Universal Metro Router is a compact, Ethernet-only, environmentally hardened router with fanless passive cooling.

It features a fixed-port configuration that includes 16 T1/E1 interfaces, four copper 10/100/1000-Mbps interfaces, four combination copper/fiber GbE ports, two GbE SFP ports, and two 10GbE SFP+ ports.

The scalability and reliability of the ACX2100 improves customer satisfaction while lowering the total cost of operating, maintaining, and updating the network infrastructure for service providers and enterprises.

The ACX1100 Universal Metro Router is a compact, 1U, environmentally hardened Ethernet-only access router. It has a fixed configuration of eight copper GbE 10/100/1000-Mbps interfaces, and four GbE copper/fiber combination ports. Its 60-Gbps performance, programmability, and fanless passive cooling system makes it ideal for external cabinet or tower installations.

ACX Universal Metro Routers enable network operators to rapidly deploy new, high-bandwidth services cost-effectively. The ACX1100's compact 17.5 x 1.75 x 9.4 in (44.5 x 4.4 x 24 cm) form factor conforms to ETSI 300 specifications and eases deployment in a service provider or enterprise cabinet where rack space and cooling are limited.

The ACX1000 Universal Metro Router is a 1U fanless router that is ideal for enterprise and service provider cabinet and tower deployments. It delivers up to 60 Gbps through a fixed configuration of eight T1/E1 interfaces, eight copper 10/100/1000 GbE ports, and four GbE combination fiber/copper ports.

ACX1000 routers are compact 17.5 x 1.75 x 9.4 in (44.5 x 4.4 x 24 cm) platforms conforming to ETSI 300 specifications. This architecture eases deployment in a service provider or enterprise cabinet where rack space and cooling are limited.

The Junos SDK makes ACX1000 fully customizable. The scalability and reliability of the platform improves customer satisfaction while lowering the total cost of operating, maintaining, and updating the network infrastructure.

The ACX710 Universal Metro Router is a multiservice router that delivers maximum operational and deployment flexibility for universal metro access and aggregation services.  It combines high port density (1GbE/10GbE to 100GbE), advanced timing, and synchronization features in a fixed, hardened platform.  With its compact 1U form factor and 315-millimeter depth, it can be deployed in a variety of metro access and aggregation environments.

The ACX710 supports a comprehensive set of service provider, enterprise, and utility use cases, including Ethernet business services, residential cable and fiber, and 5G mobile applications.  With 320-Gbps switching capacity, it delivers the performance, capacity, and features to meet demanding universal metro service delivery requirements.  Part of the ACX Series of SDN-enabled, subscriber-aware IP transport solutions, the ACX710 is powered by the industry’s preferred network operating system, Junos OS.

The ACX500 is a family of small-form-factor, hardened, fanless routers that deliver up to 60-Gbps of throughput. They come with integrated software-enabled GPS receivers and support a rich set of security, timing, and synchronization features. The ACX500 routers have been certified for indoor and outdoor use for utilities and railways. They are ideal for small-cell, LTE-Advanced mobile backhaul deployments, as well as industrial environments.

The temperature-hardened ACX500 indoor model provides four copper 10/100/1000-Mbps ports and two fiber 1-Gbps ports, while the environmentally hardened ACX500-O and ACX500-O-PoE outdoor models provide three copper ports and three fiber ports. Both the ACX500 and the ACX500-O-PoE support Power over Ethernet Plus Plus (PoE++) with a power budget of 80 watts.
