Information Technology

The ACX5400 line of Universal Metro Routers is ideal for Ethernet service aggregation and packet-optical convergence. Offering GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, and 100GbE connectivity options in a 1 U footprint, the ACX5400 line gives you the flexibility to create high-density networks with the interfaces you need to support your unique traffic demands.

Choose between Ethernet aggregation, Ethernet aggregation with MACsec encryption, and Ethernet aggregation plus packet-optical convergence. This configuration flexibility allows you to build a 100GbE infrastructure even in environments where rack space for networking devices and cooling systems is limited.

Aggregate Multiple Services with High Availability

Built with metro service aggregation in mind, the ACX5400 line features 100GbE interfaces for network-to-network interface (NNI) uplinks. It fully supports E-Line, E-LAN, E-Tree, and E-Access, as well as IP-over-IP VPN services. The router supports your business with high-availability networking features such as unified in-service software upgrades (ISSU) and the Junos operating system for consistent delivery of mission-critical voice and video traffic.

The ACX5400 line also offers service virtualization on a dedicated, customizable, kernel-based virtual machine (KVM). The KVM executes operational scripts and programs for network performance monitoring and analysis.

High-Density Networking in Space-Challenged Environments

With the ACX5400 line, you can build high-density telco infrastructures that are both efficient and scalable. For sites with rack space limitations, these 1 U platforms support up to 48 GbE or 10GbE ports, up to 16 25GbE ports (via QSFP28 breakout), and up to six 100GbE ports. The packet-optical convergence version provides two 100/200G CFP2 DCO line-side ports for easy and highly flexible multilayer deployments.

The ACX5400 line satisfies the growing demand for access network capacity, fueled by a new generation of Gigabit-capable Passive Optical Networks (GPON), 4G/5G wireless base stations, and 10GbE user-to-network interface (UNI) service demands from business and residential customers.

The router's 100-Gbps NNI ports deliver ample capacity for aggregation uplinks. Combine them with software capabilities designed for business, direct Internet, direct public cloud, residential fiber, and mobile backhaul and access networks for an optimal metro access and aggregation solution.

Using the Junos OS and Junos SDK, the ACX5400 line is fully customizable to meet your specific needs. Its scalability and reliability improve the user experience and lowers the cost associated with maintaining and updating your network infrastructure.

The Juniper Networks® ACX7000 line is designed to help operators achieve their capital, operational, and user experience goals. Part of the Juniper Networks ACX7000 Family of routers, the ACX7024 delivers exceptional TCO, investment protection, and supports Juniper® Cloud Metro for 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud applications. This makes it ideal for service provider, enterprise, and residential use cases requiring a highly flexible, compact, multiservice, and environmentally industrial-rated platform.

ACX7000 Family Overview

ACX7000 Family routers are purpose-built for the IP service fabric underlay of a Juniper Cloud Metro. They leverage the industry's fastest chipset, provide a unique balance of system design, and set new benchmarks for sustainable, high-performance platforms. Managed by Junos® OS Evolved and Juniper Paragon™ Automation Portfolio, the ACX7000 routers are embedded with Paragon Active Assurance and with Zero Trust security built in, enabling operators to deliver highly differentiated customer experiences. Available in environmentally industrial-rated, fixed, fixed plus modular, and fully modular designs, these energy and footprint efficient multiservice routers support high-precision timing technologies and are engineered for service provider, enterprise, residential (including PON with the Juniper Unified PON Solution), IoT, and 4G/5G mobile applications.

ACX7024 Product Offering

ACX7024, from the ACX7000 line, is an industrial-rated (itemp), compact, fixed, 1 U (24 cm deep), high-performance multiservice router. Next-generation silicon delivers 360 Gbps of throughput, a comprehensive feature set, and the scale needed to support the performance and bandwidth requirements of today and tomorrow. ACX7024 fixed ports include 24 multi-rate (SFP28) ports, each configurable as 1GbE, 10GbE, and 25GbE, enabling operators to perform today's most common upgrades on a port-byport basis. An additional 4 fixed (QSFP-28) 100GbE uplinks are available to support scale.

The ACX7024 incorporates 6 integrated fans (5+1 redundancy) for front-to-back and side-to-side (with baffle) airflow. It comes with 2x field replaceable AC or DC power supplies (1+1 redundancy). Costeffective and efficient thermal design enables unrestricted highpower 100GbE ZR transceiver use across all supporting ports. It incorporates precision timing capabilities, including advanced Class C timing for low-latency 5G services and GPS/GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) transceiver for best-in-class network experience. It supports next-generation protocols, including segment routing, SRv6, MPLS, and Ethernet VPN (EVPN)-Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), and any overlay, underlay, or service. It delivers service-assured network slicing, network intelligence, and Juniper Paragon Automation for network efficiency and operational simplicity.

Coherent CFP2 module with 3 different modulation formats, 100G DP-QPSK, 200G DP-8QAM, 200G DP-16QAM; with EDFA and TOF; with HGFEC mode support
