Juniper SRX3K-16GE-SFP 16 x SFP Ports 1GbE I/O Card for SRX1400 / SRX3000

Product Description

The Juniper SRX3K-16GE-SFP is a high-density Input/Output (I/O) card specifically engineered for integration into Juniper's SRX1400 and SRX3000 series security chassis. This card significantly expands the network port capacity of these platforms by offering sixteen individual 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) interfaces. The inclusion of numerous SFP ports provides considerable flexibility, allowing network administrators to utilize a variety of SFP transceivers (e.g., SX, LX, EX) to match specific fiber optic cable lengths and types, catering to diverse deployment scenarios within an enterprise or service provider network. This I/O card is crucial for organizations that require extensive network connectivity at the edge or within their data center fabric, particularly when leveraging the robust security features of the SRX series. The sixteen 1GbE ports can be used for various purposes, including connecting numerous end-user devices, aggregating traffic from multiple switches, segmenting networks for enhanced security zoning, or providing dedicated links for management and monitoring purposes. Its high port density helps in consolidating network infrastructure and reducing the physical footprint. By adding the SRX3K-16GE-SFP card, the SRX security platform can effectively serve as a high-capacity network gateway, firewall, or unified threat management (UTM) device for large campus networks, distributed enterprises, or service provider edge deployments. It ensures that the powerful security processing capabilities of the SRX chassis are matched with ample network interface capacity to handle substantial traffic volumes while maintaining granular control and security policies.
