Product Overview
The Juniper QFX5120-48T-AFO Ethernet Switch provides superior performance, scaling, and reliability to contemporary enterprise and data center networks. With 48 fixed 10GbE RJ-45 and 6 QSFP28 uplink ports, this switch can form a strong foundation to be able to support high-density network environments with low-latency and high-throughput requirements.
The Junos operating system has been integrated into QFX5120-48T-AFO, which provides highly developed layer two and layer 3 with MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN, BGP, and OSPF capabilities, thus it is suitable for both campus aggregation and the spine-leaf data center architectures. Its switching capacity of 1.76 Tbps and forwarding rate up to 1 billion packets per second will guarantee the flow of data and maintain its uninterrupted operation.
This model is designed with a front-to-back airflow design and with hot-swappable replacement and fans, which are designed to maximize its high availability and allow minimal maintenance. The 1U size factor enables it to integrate easily in the space-constrained rack space and operate with outstanding reliability and manageability.
QFX5120-48T-AFO is the best fit in the organization that needs to be able to flexibly and high-speed connect with the enterprise-level network automation and security services.
