Occupying only 3 U, the PTX10003 is the industry's first fixed-configuration core router to support 400 GbE.
The PTX10003 is easy to deploy in space constrained Internet exchange locations, remote central offices,
and embedded peering points throughout the network, including cloud-hosted services. It uniquely addresses
power-constrained environments by providing unprecedented power efficiency of 0.2 watts/Gbps. The
PTX10003 delivers high density 10 GbE, 26 GbE, 40 GbE, 100 GbE, 200 GbE, and 400 GbE and inline
MACsec with no compromise in throughput or latency. Two models with differing capacities are available.
The PTX10003-160C supports 16 Tbps throughput and the PTX10003-80C supports 8 Tbps
throughput—each in a compact 3 U footprint.

Benefits of the PTX10003
Juniper Networks ExpressPlus™ Silicon: The PTX10003 is powered by our custom ExpressPlus silicon,
providing predictable IP/MPLS packet performance and functionality, along with inline AES-256 MACsec
encryption on all interfaces.
Peering Scale: To match the expanding traffic demands, the PTX10003 delivers a peering scale of up to
3 million Forwarding Information Base (FIB) routes and up to 20 million Routing Information Base (RIB)
routes, also known as forwarding and routing tables, respectively.
QSFP-DD: The PTX10003 supports universal multi-rate QSFP-DD optics, quadrupling aggregate switch
bandwidth while maintaining port density. QSFP-DD supports continuing growth in network bandwidth
