Juniper EX2300-48P – 48x1G PoE+ + 4x10GbE Ethernet Switch

Product Overview

The Juniper EX2300-48P is a managed Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet access switch featuring 48 x 10/100/1000 BASE-T PoE+ ports and 4 x 1/10 GbE SFP/SFP+ uplinks (optics sold separately). It runs Junos OS, providing reliable, wire-speed switching with PoE+ support for powered devices such as wireless access points, IP phones and security cameras. With support for Virtual Chassis and Juniper’s cloud management options, the EX2300-48P combines flexible port density, robust traffic handling and unified configuration for enterprise access networks.

Ideal deployment / environment:
The EX2300-48P is ideal as an access layer switch for enterprise networks that require extensive PoE+ support to power devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones and security cameras, while maintaining robust connectivity to aggregation or core layers via 10 GbE uplinks. Its port density and PoE budget make it well suited to campus wiring closets, branch offices and distributed sites. With Virtual Chassis capability, multiple units can be managed as a single logical switch, simplifying operations in environments that need consistent policy and scalability across multiple access switches.
