Juniper EX6200-48T 48-port 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 Line Card

Product Description

The Juniper EX6200-48T is a high-density line card designed for the Juniper EX6200 series of modular Ethernet switches. This specific card features forty-eight ports that support 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet over standard RJ-45 connectors. These ports provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, making the EX6200-48T an ideal solution for enterprise campus networks, branch offices, and data center environments where a large number of endpoints require high-speed network access. The auto-negotiating capability of these ports allows them to automatically detect and operate at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. This line card is a key component for expanding the port density and capabilities of the EX6200 switch chassis. It allows network administrators to deploy a significant number of wired connections for end-user devices such as computers, IP phones, wireless access points, and other network-attached devices. The Gigabit Ethernet speed ensures that these devices can communicate efficiently, supporting bandwidth-intensive applications and improving overall network performance. The EX6200 platform itself offers advanced features like Layer 2 switching, Layer 3 routing, and robust security capabilities, which are leveraged by the EX6200-48T card. Installation of the EX6200-48T into an available line card slot in the EX6200 chassis is typically a hot-swappable process, allowing for upgrades or replacements without disrupting network operations. Once installed, the ports are configured through the Junos OS, Juniper's network operating system, providing granular control over VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), security policies, and other network functions. The EX6200-48T is a foundational element for building scalable and high-performance access layers in modern enterprise networks.
