Juniper Networks QFX5130-48C Ethernet Switch Information:
The Juniper Networks QFX5130-48C Ethernet Switch stands out as a next-generation solution, offering a blend of high-density and cost-efficiency in the realm of 100GbE and 400GbE optimized fixed systems. Boasting native connectivity with 48 SFP56DD 100GbE ports for server linkage and 8 QSFP-DD 400GbE uplink ports, this switch exhibits formidable capabilities.
With a bidirectional throughput of up to 16 Tbps and 2.7 billion packets per second (bpps), it excels in handling substantial data loads. The use of breakout cables further enhances its versatility, allowing an expansion to 72 supported 100/25/10GbE ports per switch. The QFX5130-48C introduces a noteworthy advancement in port density by supporting 100GbE ports with the SFP-DD form factor, optimizing space in a standard 1U box while minimizing power consumption.
Equipped with an 82 MB shared packet buffer, dynamically allocated to congested ports, it effectively prevents congestion and packet drops. The switch's power efficiency is underscored by a consumption of 285 W, contributing to improved overall energy usage and making it an excellent choice for a top-of-rack device.
