Juniper B-EX3400-48T-EDU EX3400 48x RJ45 4x SFP+ 2x QSFP+ Switch

Product Description

The Juniper B-EX3400-48T-EDU is a fixed-configuration Ethernet switch from the EX3400 series, specifically designated for educational environments. This model provides 48 standard 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet ports, suitable for connecting a wide range of end-user devices that do not require Power over Ethernet (PoE). These ports offer high-density connectivity for workstations, servers, and other network endpoints within a campus network infrastructure. The switch is built on Juniper's robust Junos OS, ensuring a unified and reliable operating system for network management and automation. This switch is equipped with a versatile uplink configuration designed to support high-bandwidth network aggregation. It includes four 1 Gigabit/10 Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports, providing flexible options for connecting to existing infrastructure or for uplinks requiring up to 10Gbps. Additionally, it features two 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports, offering significantly higher throughput for core connections or for connecting to high-performance servers and storage devices. This combination of uplink options makes the EX3400-48T-EDU adaptable to various network designs and future growth requirements. As part of the EX3400 series, this switch supports advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, including static routing and the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), enabling efficient traffic management and network segmentation. Security is a key focus, with features such as MACsec for encrypted traffic, 802.1X for port-based network access control, and other security policies to safeguard the network. The switch's 1RU form factor facilitates easy installation in standard network racks, and it is designed for deployment in both campus access and data center environments.
