ACX7000 Family Overview

ACX7000 routers are purpose-built for the IP service fabric underlay of a Juniper Cloud Metro. They leverage the industry’s fastest chipset, provide a unique balance of system design, and set new benchmarks for sustainable, high-performance platforms.

Managed by Junos OS Evolved and Juniper Paragon Automation Portfolio, ACX7000 routers are embedded with Paragon Active Assurance and with Zero Trust security built in, enabling operators to deliver highly differentiated customer experiences. They are available in environmentally industrial-rated, fixed, fixed plus modular, and fully modular designs. These energy- and footprint-efficient multiservice routers support high-precision timing technologies and are engineered for service provider, enterprise, residential (including PON with the Juniper Unified PON Solution), IoT, and 4G/5G mobile applications.

Individually, ACX7000 platforms bring leading-edge performance, scale, and capability to any deployment. Building a comprehensive Juniper Cloud Metro architecture consisting of multiple ACX7000 family platforms lets you realize a new dimension of end-to-end operational capability, performance, and simplicity. Forming the foundation of an IP service fabric underlay, the ACX7000 family shares innovative features that elevate operations and enable the core characteristics of a cloud metro.

Product Offering

ACX7020, from the ACX7000 family, is a compact, fixed, 1-U (23.5 cm deep), high-performance multiservice router.

Designed for cloud metro deployments in industrial temperature environments, it incorporates integrated fans (N+1 redundancy) for side-to-side airflow. It comes with 2x fixed AC or dual input DC power supplies. Cost-effective and efficient thermal design, which includes optional conformal coating, enables the usage of high-power SFP28 and SFP+ transceivers on all supporting ports. It incorporates precision-timing capabilities, including advanced Class C timing for low-latency 5G services and EMI/RFI shield with the optional conformal coating for best-in-class network experience. It supports next-generation protocols, including segment routing, SRv6, MPLS, and Ethernet VPN (EVPN), as well as any overlay, underlay, or service. The AXC7020 delivers service-assured network slicing, network intelligence, and Juniper Paragon Automation for network efficiency and operational simplicity.

ACX7020 is an industrial-rated (I-Temp) multiservice router. Next-generation silicon delivers 100 Gbps of throughput, a comprehensive feature set, and the scale needed to support today and tomorrow’s performance and bandwidth requirements. The ACX7020 router’s fixed ports include four multi-rate (SFP28) ports (each configurable as 1GbE, 10GbE, and 25GbE) and 16 multi-rate (SFP+) ports (each configurable as 1GbE or 10GbE) enabling operators to perform today’s most common upgrades on a port-by-port basis. The four SFP28 ports can be used as 25GbE uplinks are available to support scale.
