Juniper Network Equipment Ptx12012 12 Slot 518 4T 800Gbe Osfp Qsfp Dd
Product Description
The Juniper PTX12012 is a 12‑slot modular core router with 518.4 Tbps non‑blocking throughput in a 32RU chassis — powered by the Express 5 ASIC and Junos OS Evolved. Each line card delivers 54 ports of 800GbE (43.2 Tbps) , enabling a total of 648 x 800GbE ports per chassis. Built for AI data center spines, service provider cores, and DCI, the PTX12012 features full hardware redundancy (power, fans, fabric, control plane), wire‑speed MACsec on every port, and a 1.6T‑ready architecture for future investment protection.
