Juniper Networks EX8200-48PL Ethernet Line Card Information:
The Juniper Networks EX8200-48PL Ethernet Line Card is functionally identical to the -48TL model but comes with additional support for the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard. Physically indistinguishable from the -48TL, the EX8200-48PL extends its capabilities by delivering up to 15.4 watts of Class 3 PoE on all 48 ports. This feature enables the line card to power networked devices such as telephones, video cameras, and wireless LAN (WLAN) access points, making it an excellent choice for creating an EX8200-based user access or converged access/core solution.
Moreover, the first 12 ports of the EX8200-48PL are equipped to support the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard, delivering up to 30 watts per port. This higher power capacity is suitable for devices that demand more than the 15.4 watts provided by Class 3 PoE. As part of the Juniper Networks EX8200 line of Ethernet switches, renowned for their powerful, modular platforms, the EX8200-48PL ensures high-performance, scalability, and carrier-class reliability.
Each EX8200 Ethernet line card, including the EX8200-48PL, incorporates two or four on-board Packet Forwarding Engines (EX-PFE2) with purpose-built ASICs, enabling wire-speed packet processing, internal deep packet queuing, and buffering. Additionally, each line card features a local processor for scalable local control and status processing, contributing to an optimized solution for enterprise applications.
