Juniper MIC-3D-20GE-SFP 20-Port 1Gb/s 1000Base-X SFP Interface Card

Product Description

The Juniper MIC-3D-20GE-SFP is a high-density Modular Interface Card (MIC) designed for deployment in Juniper's M-series and MX-series modular routers. This card is equipped with twenty SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports, each capable of operating at 1 Gigabit per second (1Gb/s) over 1000Base-X standards. The primary function of this MIC is to provide extensive Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, making it suitable for a wide range of service provider and enterprise networking applications that require numerous access ports. This interface card is crucial for scenarios such as aggregation of access layer traffic, providing high-density customer connections, or serving as a versatile interface for various network services. The use of SFP transceivers allows for flexibility in choosing the appropriate media type (fiber optic or copper) and distance requirements for each individual port. The MIC-3D-20GE-SFP supports hot-swapping, enabling network administrators to add, remove, or replace the card without interrupting the operation of the router, which is essential for maintaining network uptime and service continuity. As part of Juniper's modular ecosystem, the MIC-3D-20GE-SFP allows organizations to customize their routing platforms according to evolving network demands. By populating routers with these high-density Gigabit Ethernet MICs, service providers can efficiently scale their infrastructure to support a growing subscriber base and increasing bandwidth needs. The card is designed to meet the rigorous performance and reliability standards expected in carrier-grade and enterprise environments.
