footprint. It is designed for applications that require dense port
distribution in a small (60 cm deep) footprint. It supports cloud-
inspired service rates and port-by-port configuration of native
10GbE, 25GbE, and 50GbE on all 48 ports, including 6 ports of
400GbE enabling operators to perform today’s most common
upgrades on a port-by-port basis. The 100GbE port speed is
supported through breakout connectivity on 4 x 400GbE ports. The Figure 2. Juniper ACX7100-32C—engineered for the IP service fabric of a Juniper Cloud
dual front-to-back and back-to-front airflow design makes this Metro

platform ideal for data center use cases.

The ACX7100 platforms support 5G and Juniper Cloud Metro
solutions, and they are designed for service provider, enterprise,
wholesale, and data center use cases.

Features and Benefits
