QFX10002 Switch

The QFX10002 fixed-configuration switch is a very dense, highly scalable platform designed for today’s most demanding data center, campus, and routing environments. It’s loaded with power and functionality, all housed in a compact, 2 U form factor.

Using our custom Q5 ASICs, the QFX10002 features a deep buffer with Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) to absorb network traffic spikes and reduce application latency. It supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE interfaces in the same platform, providing the flexibility to transition to greater network capacity as traffic demands increase.

Manage your QFX10002 with turnkey Juniper Apstra intent-based networking software, which automates the entire network lifecycle to simplify design, deployment, and operations and provides closed-loop assurance.
