The QFX10002 line of Ethernet switches is a high-density, highly scalable, fixed-configuration solution designed for demanding data center, campus, and routing environments. Housed in a compact 2U form factor, these switches provide exceptional performance, deep buffers, and flexibility with support for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE interfaces.
Cloud-Driven Intelligence
Built on Juniper’s custom Q5 ASICs with Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) technology, the QFX10002 switches offer deep buffers that effectively handle traffic bursts, reduce latency, and support applications that demand high reliability. Integration with the Juniper Apstra System provides automated lifecycle management and closed-loop assurance.
