MPC7E-MRATE

Description	Fixed-configuration MPC with 10-Gbps, 40-Gbps, and 100-Gbps port speeds Weight: 15.7 lb (7.12 kg) Model number: MPC7E-MRATE Name in the CLI: `MPC7E-MRATE`
Hardware features	Junos Trio chipsets for increased scaling for bandwidth, subscribers, and services Twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be configured as 40-Gigabit Ethernet port or as four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports using a breakout cable. The ports support quad small-form factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceivers. The 40Gbps or 100Gbps ports configured to run at 10Gbps speed are shown in the CLI as follows: show interfaces terse Interface Admin Link Proto Local Remote xe-10/0/0:0 up down xe-10/0/0:1 up down xe-10/0/0:2 up down xe-10/0/0:3 up down Four out of the twelve ports can be configured as 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Port numbers 0/2, 0/5, 1/2 and 1/5 are the four 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports. You can configure different combination of port speeds as long as the aggregate capacity per group of six ports labeled 0/0 through 0/5 does not exceed 240 Gbps. Similarly, aggregate capacity per group of the other six ports labeled 1/0 through 1/5 should not exceed 240 Gbps. The ports are labeled as (with the MPC orientation as shown in the above figure): 10-Gigabit Ethernet or 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports: 0/0, 0/1, 0/2 100G, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5 100G, 1/0, 1/1, 1/2 100G, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 100G 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports: 0/2 100G, 0/5 100G, 1/2 100G and 1/5 100G Note: Only ports marked 100G support 100-Gigabit Ethernet speed using QSFP28 transceivers. Supports maximum transmission units (MTUs) from 256 bytes through 16,000 bytes for transit traffic, and from 256 bytes through 9,500 bytes for host bound packets.
Software features	Supports rate selectability at the port level. By default, the ports are configured as 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Optical diagnostics and related alarms See Protocols and Applications Supported by the MPC7E for MX Series Routers for information about the protocols and applications that the MPC7E supports.
Cables and connectors	Tip: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the pluggable transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device. The list of supported transceivers for the MX Series is located at https://pathfinder.juniper.net/hct/category/#catKey=100001&modelType;=All&pf;=MX+Series.
Power requirements	At different temperatures: 55° C: 545 W 40° C: 465 W 25° C: 440 W
LEDs	OK/FAIL LED, one bicolor: Steady green—MPC is functioning normally. Yellow—MPC has failed. LINK LED, one green per port (4 per QSFP+ cage): Steady green—Link is up. Off—Link is down or disabled.

Platform Specific Behavior

Use the below table to review platform-specific behavior for your platforms.

Table 1: Platform-Specific Behavior
Platform	Behavior
MX960	On MX960 routers, you can operate the MPC7E MRATE line card in any MPC slot at an ambient temperature of up to 40° C and at any altitude. All the MPC slots can be occupied by an MPC7E MRATE line card at temperatures of up to 55° C and at sea level. At an ambient temperature of above 55° C, and at sea level, slot 11 cannot host MPC7E MRATE line cards.
MX240, MX480, MX960	MPC7E powers on only if the `network-services` mode on the router is configured as either `enhanced-ip` or `enhanced-ethernet`. Requires high-capacity power supplies, high-capacity fan trays, and SCBE2 or SCBE3 switch control boards. Supports a line-rate throughput of up to 480 Gbps.
MX2000	Supports a line-rate throughput of up to 400 Gbps on MX2000 routers with SFB, and up to 430 Gbps on MX2000 routers with SFB2. Requires an adapter card to be housed in MX2000 routers.
