Juniper MX480 Router

The MX480 5G Universal Routing Platform is an Ethernet-optimized edge router that provides both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The MX480 router enables a wide range of business and residential applications and services, including high-speed transport and VPN services, next-generation broadband multiplay services, high-speed Internet and data center internetworking.

The MX480 chassis provides redundancy and resiliency. The hardware system is fully redundant, including power supplies, Routing Engines, and Switch Control Boards (SCBs).

The MX480 router is eight rack units (U) tall. Five routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space. The router provides eight slots that can be populated with up to six Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs) or Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs), three Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), and two SCBs. Each FPC holds up to two PICs and each MPC holds up to two Modular Interface Cards (MICs).

High Scale and Density: Scales through 9 Tbps with support for 15 400GbE interfaces and 75 100GbE interfaces, to provide long-term investment protection.

Space Efficient: Offers excellent ratio of size to capacity and density, bringing new efficiency to a variety of applications.

Rich MultiService Edge Features: Supports BNG, business edge, consumer edge, peering, SDN gateway, data center and cloud edge, and metro aggregation functions.

Built-In Encryption: Draws on best-in-class Juniper Trio 5 silicon to perform MACsec encryption without sacrificing performance.
