Description
The Juniper MPC4E-3D-2CGE-8XGE is a fixed-configuration Modular Port Concentrator (MPC) for Juniper MX Series routers. It provides two 100-Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, with line-rate throughput of up to 260 Gbps. The module is designed for high-capacity routing environments and supports configurable LAN-PHY/WAN-PHY operation on the 10GbE interfaces.
The module is supported on compatible MX Series platforms including the MX240, MX480, MX960, MX2010, and MX2020, subject to platform hardware and Junos OS requirements. The standard MPC4E-3D-2CGE-8XGE version provides full-scale Layer 2/L2.5 functionality with reduced-scale Layer 3 features.
