Juniper B-EX3400-48P-EDU EX3400 48x RJ45 PoE+ 4x SFP+ Switch

Product Description

The Juniper B-EX3400-48P-EDU is a member of the Juniper Networks EX3400 Ethernet Switch series, specifically tailored for the educational sector with its 'EDU' designation. This switch is a robust, fixed-configuration platform designed to deliver high-performance, reliable, and secure network access for campus environments. It features 48 multi-speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) RJ45 ports that support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), enabling it to power a wide array of connected devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras directly over the Ethernet cable, simplifying infrastructure and reducing cabling costs. Complementing the 48 access ports are four 1 Gigabit/10 Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) uplink ports. These high-speed uplinks provide the necessary bandwidth to connect the switch to the network core or to other aggregation switches, ensuring efficient data flow and preventing bottlenecks. The EX3400 series runs on Juniper's Junos OS, which offers a consistent operational experience across all Juniper platforms, simplifying network management, automation, and troubleshooting. This OS provides advanced Layer 3 features, including static routing and support for the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), allowing for more sophisticated network designs. Security is a critical aspect of the EX3400-48P-EDU, incorporating features like MACsec for link-layer encryption, 802.1X network access control, and various other security policies to protect the network from unauthorized access and threats. The switch is designed for deployment in both campus and data center access layers, offering flexibility in network architecture. Its compact 1RU form factor allows for easy rack mounting, and it supports a maximum PoE budget of 405W, sufficient for a significant number of powered devices.
