Juniper ACX5448-AC-AFO Routers

The Juniper Networks ACX5000 line of Universal Metro Routers is a response to a shift in metro network architectures where the access and aggregation layers are extending operational intelligence from the service provider edge to the access network. The ACX5000 line simplifies access and aggregation architectures by eliminating unnecessary layers and network overlays, dramatically reducing CapEx and OpEx. Based on architectural simplification and cost reduction, the ACX5000 line gives service providers and enterprises the ability to adopt a true universal metro paradigm. The ACX5000 line also provides high capacity, scalability, and a packet optical transport layer, while delivering industry-leading performance with a wide range of port densities and interface types. Table 1 provides an overview of the interfaces supported on each ACX5000 model. The ACX5448-M supports 44 1GbE/10GbE and six 100GbE ports, as well as advanced security capabilities such as Media Access Control Security (MACsec) on all 1GbE/10GbE ports
