16-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MPC on MX Series Routers (16x10GE 3D MPC) Overview
In Junos OS Release 10.1 and later, MX960, MX480, and MX240 routers support the 16-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MPC (16x10GE 3D MPC) with model numbers MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP-R-B and MPC-3D-16XGE-SFPP. This MPC provides scalability in bandwidth, subscribers, and services capabilities of the routers.
The following are some of the key features of the 16x10GE 3D MPC:
- Contains 16 built-in 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports in groups of four each. It does not contain separate slots for Modular Interface Cards (MICs).
- Supports LAN-PHY mode at 10.3125 Gbps.

Note: The 16x10GE 3D MPC does not support WAN-PHY mode.
- Supports small form-factor pluggable transceivers of the
SFP+ standard. For a list of supported SFPs, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference
. - Supports an effective line rate of twelve 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. If all sixteen 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports are used, the line card is oversubscribed in the ratio of 4:3.
- Supports intelligent oversubscription services.
- Supports one full-duplex 10-Gigabit Ethernet tunnel interface for each Packet Forwarding Engine. .
For information about the supported and unsupported Junos OS
features for this MPC, see “Protocols and Applications Supported
by MX Series MPCs” in the MX Series Interface Module Reference
