ACX7100-32C Overview

As fibre-fed services, interconnect traffic and edge workloads grow, network teams need more aggregation capacity without adding unnecessary platform sprawl.

Dense Metro Aggregation for Production Networks

The Juniper ACX7100-32C is a cloud metro router for aggregation environments that need dense 100GbE and 400GbE connectivity. It suits metro edge, DCI and routed transport roles where high-capacity concentration matters.

Built to Handle Concentrated Traffic

Its 32×40/100GbE and 4×400GbE port mix gives operators room to consolidate multiple upstream paths on a compact platform. The 4.8 Tbps forwarding capacity supports sustained traffic movement across busy aggregation points.

Operational Fit for Growing Networks

That makes it a practical fit where infrastructure teams need to keep metro routing dense, predictable and easier to manage. It supports expansion without forcing a move to larger chassis systems.

Our team can help you assess the Juniper ACX7100-32C for your metro or interconnect design and align it to your production requirements.

ACX7100-32C Key Features​

Juniper ACX7100-32C is a service-provider edge networking platform designed for high-capacity aggregation and transport in modern metro and edge environments, balancing scale, throughput, and operational consistency.

Scale Edge Transport

High-Density Ethernet Aggregation
The platform consolidates edge and aggregation traffic with 32×40/100GbE plus 4x400GbE connectivity for scalable service-provider designs.

High-Capacity Forwarding
It delivers 4.8 Tbps of forwarding capacity to support demanding traffic growth at the network edge.

Metro and Edge Alignment
Its architecture is suited to aggregation and transport roles where predictable throughput and port flexibility are required.

Bandwidth Expansion Path
The mix of 100GbE and 400GbE interfaces provides a practical upgrade path for higher-speed uplinks and traffic consolidation.

Protect Traffic Operations

Line-Rate Traffic Encryption
Full line-rate MACsec on all ports helps secure traffic without reducing platform throughput.

Consistent Security Enforcement
Security can be applied across the entire port set, supporting uniform protection for mixed edge workloads.

Operational Resilience
The platform is built to maintain secure forwarding behavior while carrying high-volume production traffic in service-provider environments.

ACX7100-32C Deployment Scenarios

The Juniper ACX7100-32C is a compact 32-port 100GbE metro routing platform for sites that need dense routed aggregation at the edge. It fits environments moving high volumes of traffic between facilities, clouds and regional network hubs.

Telecom Metro Aggregation Nodes

Mobile, broadband and business service providers can use this router in metro aggregation sites where 100GbE concentration is the priority. It helps avoid oversized chassis platforms while keeping routing capacity high and operationally manageable.

Data Centre Edge and DCI Links

For colocation, cloud on-ramp and inter-facility transport, the ACX7100-32C suits edge sites that need reliable 100GbE routing between buildings and metro networks. It supports compact deployments where dense interconnects must stay controlled and simple to run.

Utility Regional WAN Hubs

Energy and utility teams can place this platform at regional hubs to aggregate operational traffic from substations, control sites and operations centres. Its 100GbE routing focus supports deterministic transport without pushing staff into larger, harder-to-manage systems.

Financial Network Interconnect Sites

Financial institutions need clear separation and resilient transport for market data, branch connectivity and data-centre interconnect. This router fits compact metro sites where many 100GbE circuits must be routed with predictable service handling and tight operational control.

Broadcast and Content Distribution Hubs

Media teams can deploy the ACX7100-32C for contribution, distribution and venue backhaul where bandwidth spikes and site interconnects are demanding. It is a practical choice when 100GbE transport needs to stay compact and dependable.
