Juniper Network Equipment Mx304 2U 4 8T 400G 100G 50G 25G Junos Trio 6
Product Description
The Juniper MX304 is a cloud‑era, carrier‑grade edge router delivering 4.8 Tbps system throughput in a compact 2 RU chassis — powered by the Junos Trio 6 chipset with just 0.3 W/Gb power efficiency. It features 3 LMIC slots, line‑rate MACsec (AES‑256) and inline IPsec on all ports, making it ideal for secure, high‑density 400GbE to 1GbE connectivity. With 1+1 redundant Routing Engines, hot‑swappable fans, and dual 2200W PSUs, the MX304 offers carrier‑class reliability in a space‑optimized footprint for edge, DCI, and broadband aggregation.
Key Differentiators

4.8 Tbps in 2 RU — highest throughput per rack unit in its class
-
0.3 W/Gb efficiency — significantly lowers power and cooling TCO
-
Inline MACsec + IPsec — hardware‑accelerated encryption on all ports
-
3 LMIC slots supporting 400GbE, 100GbE, 50GbE, 40GbE, 25/10/1GbE
-
Up to 12 x 400GbE or 48 x 100GbE per chassis
-
1+1 redundant REs, dual 2200W PSUs (AC/DC/HVAC), hot‑swap fans
