Juniper Network Equipment Ptx12008 Ptx12012 800Gbe 345T 518T Ai Dci Router

Product Description

The Juniper PTX12008 and PTX12012 are modular core routers powered by the Express 5 ASIC, delivering up to 518.4 Tbit/s system capacity with industry‑leading 800GbE density (up to 648 ports per chassis). Each line card provides 43.2 Tbit/s forwarding via 54 x 800GbE ports (QSFP‑DD/OSFP), with line‑rate MACsec AES‑256 encryption, deep buffers for AI traffic bursts, and 49% better power efficiency than the previous generation. The 1.6T‑ready platform features dual 10‑core Intel Ice Lake‑D Routing Engines (256 GB DDR4, 2 x 400 GB SSD), SyncE/PTP timing, and touchscreen LED status displays.

Key Differentiators
