The ACX5000 Universal Metro Routers are Juniper Networks' top-of-rack router solutions for data centers
and campus distribution or aggregation environments. The ACX5000 router portfolio consists of
high-performance fixed-configuration routers that add higher port densities, additional scalability, and
improved latency to the ACX Series. The ACX5000 routers are available in two models-ACX5048 and
ACX5096. See "ACX5000 Router Models" on page
ACX5000 routers offer a compact 1 U model and a 2 U model that provide wire-speed packet performance,
very low latency, and a rich set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. These routers have a high-throughput
Packet Forwarding Engine, and the performance of the control plane running on ACX5000 routers is
enhanced by the 1.5 Ghz dual-core Intel CPU with 8 GB of memory and 32 GB of solid-state drive (SSD)
storage.
The ACX5000 routers include both 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 40-Gigabit Ethernet fixed configurations.
