The Juniper ACX7348 provides compact routed aggregation for cloud metro and edge networks, helping organisations scale service links without moving straight to larger platforms. With Junos OS Evolved and modular expansion, it delivers resilient growth and secure connectivity in demanding environments.
As routed edge and interconnect layers grow denser, infrastructure teams need platforms that can add capacity without disrupting service design or complicating site standards.
Juniper ACX7348 is a compact edge router for metro aggregation, data-centre interconnect and other high-density routed environments where many service links must terminate on a single platform. Its fixed port set combines 48×1/10/25GbE SFP28 with 8×100GbE QSFP28, giving operators a practical mix for access, aggregation and uplink roles.
With 2.4 Tbps of system throughput and support for 2×800G bays plus 1×400G bay, the platform gives network teams room to align bandwidth to the workload profile rather than overbuild the edge. Junos OS Evolved keeps the operating model familiar for day-to-day routing and lifecycle management.
The result is a routed platform that supports dense inter-site traffic, service growth and higher link counts in a compact footprint. It helps reduce pressure on port planning and keeps the edge ready for incremental expansion.
Our team can help you assess the Juniper ACX7348 for your routed edge or interconnect design and map it to your operational requirements.
Juniper ACX7348 is a high-capacity networking platform for provider and enterprise edge environments, designed to deliver scalable connectivity and predictable throughput in compact deployment footprints.
Multi-Speed Access Fabric
The platform supports high-density access switching with 48×1/10/25GbE SFP28 ports for flexible edge aggregation.
High-Speed Uplink Architecture
Eight 100GbE QSFP28 interfaces provide a fast uplink layer for aggregation and upstream transport connectivity.
Expandable I/O Design
The system adds modular growth options through 2x800G bays and 1x400G bay to align with evolving bandwidth requirements.
2.4 Tbps Throughput
The platform architecture is built for sustained forwarding capacity with a total system throughput of 2.4 Tbps.
Deterministic Service Delivery
The switching architecture is intended to maintain consistent traffic handling across mixed-speed access and uplink domains.
Deployment Flexibility
The port and bay layout supports adaptation to different edge and aggregation roles without changing the core platform.
Capacity Planning Headroom
The combination of fixed ports and high-speed bays gives operators room to stage bandwidth growth within a single chassis design.
If you are planning edge or aggregation growth, our team can help map ACX7348 connectivity, throughput, and expansion requirements to your network design.

The Juniper ACX7348 is a compact routed edge platform for environments that need dense 100GbE aggregation at metro, inter-site, and data-centre boundaries. It fits operational networks where many circuits must converge without moving to fewer 400GbE handoff points.
For telecoms metro nodes carrying broadband, mobile, and business services, the ACX7348 provides the 100GbE fan-in needed when service growth is driven by many links rather than a few very large ports. It keeps edge design practical at scale.
At data-centre edge sites and DCI aggregation points, teams need reliable routed handoff between facilities, clouds, and metro networks. The ACX7348 suits these sites when numerous 100GbE circuits converge and operational simplicity matters more than chasing larger port sizes.
Energy and utilities networks often carry deterministic traffic between substations, control rooms, and operations centres. The ACX7348 supports those regional transport roles by consolidating many 100GbE services into a manageable edge platform with room for continued circuit growth.
In financial services, branch, market-data, and data-centre interconnects need resilience, clear service separation, and predictable routing. The ACX7348 fits dense metro handoff where 100GbE remains the dominant circuit size and operational control is tightly managed.
Studios, venues, and distribution networks can use the ACX7348 to move large media files and live production traffic across many 100GbE paths. It is a practical choice where throughput, timing, and inter-site aggregation all matter.
We can help design and deploy the Juniper ACX7348 for metro aggregation, DCI, utility transport, financial connectivity, and media workflows, with deployment choices aligned to circuit mix, resilience targets, and operational staffing.
