Juniper QFX5110-48S – 48×SFP+ & 4×QSFP28 Managed Switch

Guide price: Price range: £2,550.00 through £7,000.00 Ex. VAT

Product Overview

The Juniper QFX5110-48S is a high-performance, compact 1 U Ethernet switch designed for data centre and campus networks. It delivers wire-speed switching with very low latency, supports a wide range of port speeds (1 GbE up to 100 GbE) and runs the full-featured Junos OS, providing a flexible, scalable and automation-ready network building block suitable for modern leaf/spine, access or aggregation layers.

Ideal deployment / environment: The Juniper QFX5110-48S is ideally positioned as a leaf or access switch in modern data-centre architectures, delivering high-density 10 GbE connectivity for servers and hyper-converged infrastructure, with 40 GbE and 100 GbE uplinks to spine or aggregation layers. Support for VXLAN/EVPN and large forwarding tables makes it well suited to virtualised and multi-tenant environments requiring efficient overlay/underlay integration and scalable network segmentation.
With low latency, high throughput and advanced automation capabilities, the QFX5110-48S is also well aligned for campus distribution, cloud-ready data centres and hybrid physical-to-virtual network deployments.

Key Features

  • High-density 48 × 1/10 GbE SFP+ ports with 4 × 40/100 GbE QSFP28 uplinks for scalable leaf, access and aggregation designs.
  • Data-centre class performance — up to 1.76 Tbps switching capacity, 1.32 Bpps forwarding and sub-microsecond latency for latency-sensitive workloads.
  • Full Layer 2/Layer 3 with native VXLAN/EVPN for scalable multi-tenant and virtualised network architectures.
  • Large unified forwarding tables with Virtual Chassis and VCF support for simplified management and horizontal scaling.
  • Automation-ready Junos OS (Juniper Junos) with ZTP and programmable automation for standardised deployment and lifecycle efficiency.
