Guide price: Price range: £24,628.79 through £52,800.00 Ex. VAT

Product Overview

The Juniper ACX7509 is a high-capacity, modular Cloud Metro router engineered for service provider, large enterprise and data-centre aggregation deployments. It delivers 4.8 Tbps system throughput in a 5 U, 60 cm deep chassis, offering a flexible mix of port speeds from 1 GbE up to 400 GbE via field-replaceable forwarding cards. Powered by Junos OS Evolved, it supports advanced routing, MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN overlay, segment routing (SR/SRv6) and rich automation and telemetry features suited to modern high-density IP service fabrics.

Ideal deployment / environment:
The ACX7509 is ideally deployed in cloud metro, service provider aggregation and high-density edge routing environments where a broad range of service speeds and high throughput are required. Its modular port mix from 1 GbE through to 400 GbE enables flexible service delivery and backhaul for 5G mobile, IoT and wholesale Ethernet services, while rich protocol support and Junos OS Evolved capabilities suit complex IP/MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN and segment-routed fabrics.

High availability and precision timing features make it appropriate for carrier aggregation, data-centre interconnect and enterprise edge transport applications needing resilient performance and scalable service assurance.
