EX2300-C-12P – 12x1G PoE+ + 2x10GbE Fanless Switch

Product Overview

The Juniper EX2300-C-12P is a compact, fanless Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet switch with 12 x 10/100/1000 BASE-T PoE+ ports and two 1/10 GbE SFP/SFP+ uplinks (optics sold separately). It provides enterprise-class switching with Junos OS, supporting a broad set of VLAN, QoS and security features in a small form factor. With an integrated Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) budget suitable for typical edge devices, and optional Virtual Chassis capability to unify multiple units, the EX2300-C-12P delivers reliable connectivity and flexible management for space-constrained network edge environments.

Ideal deployment / environment:
The EX2300-C-12P is well suited to low-density enterprise access deployments and branch-office edge networks where both connectivity and power to devices are required in a compact, silent unit. Its PoE+ capability supports typical edge devices such as wireless access points, VoIP phones and security cameras without requiring separate injectors, while the 1/10 GbE uplinks provide aggregation to distribution switches or core network layers.

Virtual Chassis support and cloud-ready management make EX2300-C-12P practical for small-site clusters or distributed campus edge access, delivering consistent policy, VLAN segmentation and traffic control without large rack footprints.
