Juniper EX3400-48P – 48x1G PoE+ 4SFP+ Ethernet Switch

Product Overview

The Juniper EX3400-48P is a high-performance, fixed-configuration access switch tailored for enterprise and campus edge networks that require abundant PoE+ power alongside robust switching and uplink flexibility. It delivers 48 x 10/100/1000 BASE-T PoE+ ports with support for IEEE 802.3at/802.3af standards and substantial power budgets, plus 4 x 1/10 GbE SFP/SFP+ and 2 x 40 GbE QSFP+ uplinks (optics sold separately).

Running Junos OS, the EX3400-48P blends advanced Layer 2/Layer 3 functionality, resilient power delivery and options for Virtual Chassis scaling to meet the demands of modern wired enterprise access fabrics.

Ideal deployment / environment:
The EX3400-48P is designed for access layer deployments in enterprise campuses, wiring closets and distributed sites that need both reliable PoE+ power and high-density gigabit connectivity. Its generous PoE budgets support powered devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones and security cameras without the need for separate injectors, while its 10 GbE and 40 GbE uplinks provide robust aggregation into distribution or core layers.

Virtual Chassis support extends manageability and scaling across multiple access switches, making this model a strong choice for converged voice, data and video environments where unified policy and resilient delivery are imperative.
