Juniper Networks EX8216 Ethernet Switch

The Juniper Networks EX8216 Ethernet Switch is a robust 16-slot chassis featuring a passive midplane, 2x fan tray, 1x routing engine, 8x switch fabric modules, 2x 3,000 W AC power supplies with power cords, and all necessary blank panels. As a key component of the Juniper Networks EX8200 line of Ethernet Switches, the EX8216 serves as a high-density, high-performance platform suitable for aggregating access switches in data center top-of-rack or end-of-row applications. It is also designed to support Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet server access in data center end-of-row deployments.

With an impressive throughput of approximately 1.9 billion packets per second (Bpps), the EX8216 delivers wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance, making it an ideal choice for the most demanding data center networks. To optimize network investments, the EX8216 shares compatibility with the same EX8200 wire-speed line cards and power supplies used by the eight-slot Juniper Networks EX8208 Ethernet Switch, ensuring consistent performance across the entire product family.

Alongside Juniper Networks EX2200, EX3200, EX3300, EX4200, EX4500, and EX6200 lines of Ethernet switches, all running the Juniper Networks Junos® operating system, the EX8216 contributes to reducing both capital and operational expenses throughout the data center infrastructure.
