Juniper Network Equipment Ptx10003 3U 8T 16T Fixed Core Packet Router
Juniper Network Equipment Ptx10003 3U 8T 16T Fixed Core Packet Router
Product Description
The Juniper PTX10003 is a fixed‑configuration packet transport router delivering 8 Tbps or 16 Tbps in a compact 3U chassis — powered by the ExpressPlus ASIC and Junos OS Evolved. It offers universal QSFP‑DD ports supporting 400GbE, 100GbE, and 10GbE breakout, with up to 32 x 400GbE (16 Tbps model) and wire‑speed inline MACsec on 100GbE ports. At just 0.2 W/Gbps, it is ideal for space‑ and power‑constrained core, DCI, and data center spine deployments.
Key Differentiators
-
Two throughput options: 8 Tbps (80C) or 16 Tbps (160C) in 3U
-
Universal QSFP‑DD ports: 400/100/10GbE native support
-
Up to 32 x 400GbE, 160 x 100GbE, or 320 x 10GbE ports
-
0.2 W/Gbps power efficiency — lowest in its class
-
Inline MACsec (AES‑256) on 100GbE ports
-
4M+ FIB entries, deep buffers for burst traffic
-
Redundant hot‑swap PSUs and fans (front‑to‑back airflow)
-
Junos OS Evolved (64‑bit) with full automation and telemetry
