Product Description
The Juniper Networks® ACX7024 Cloud Metro Router is designed to help operators achieve their capital, operational, and user experience goals. Part of the Juniper Networks ACX7000 Family of routers, the ACX7024 delivers exceptional TCO, investment protection, and supports Juniper® Cloud Metro for 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud applications. This makes it ideal for service provider, enterprise, and residential use cases requiring a highly flexible, compact, multiservice, and environmentally hardened platform.
ACX7000 Family 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, the ACX7000 routers are embedded with Paragon Active Assurance and with Zero Trust security built in, enabling operators to deliver highly differentiated customer experiences. Available in hardened, 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.
Juniper Networks ACX7000 Family—engineered for the IP service fabric of a Juniper Cloud Metro
ACX7024 is a hardened, compact, fixed, 1 U (24 cm deep), high-performance multiservice router. Next-generation silicon delivers 360 Gbps of throughput, a comprehensive feature set, and the scale needed to support the performance and bandwidth requirements of today and tomorrow. ACX7024 fixed ports include 24 multi-rate (SFP28) ports, each configurable as 1GbE, 10GbE, and 25GbE, enabling operators to perform today’s most common upgrades on a port-by-port basis. An additional 4 fixed (QSFP-DD) 100GbE uplinks are available to support scale.
The ACX7024 incorporates 6 integrated fans (5+1 redundancy) for front-to-back and side-to-side (with baffle) airflow. It comes with 2x field replaceable AC or DC power supplies (1+1 redundancy). Cost-effective and efficient thermal design enables unrestricted high-power 100GbE ZR transceiver use across all supporting ports. It incorporates precision timing capabilities, including advanced Class C timing for low-latency 5G services and GPS/GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) transceiver for best-in-class network experience. It supports next-generation protocols, including segment routing, SRv6, MPLS, and Ethernet VPN (EVPN)–Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), and any overlay, underlay, or service. It delivers service-assured network slicing, network intelligence, and Juniper Paragon Automation for network efficiency and operational simplicity.
