QFX5230-64CD Chassis Physical Specifications | 16 QFX5230-64CD Switch Description The QFX5230-64CD switch offers 64 ports of 400-Gbps in a 2-RU form factor. With 25.6 terabits per second (Tbps) bandwidth, the QFX5230-64CD is an optimal choice for spine-and-leaf IP fabric deployments as well as metro use cases. The QFX5230-64CD switch uses a Broadcom TH4 - BCM56990 which is a high-radix class chip, dedicated for high-bandwidth network switching devices.
Figure 9: QFX5230-64CD Front Panel NOTE: The 16 ports marked in green, from 33 through 63, denote the ports that support 400G- ZR and 400G-ZRM QDD optics. If these optics are plugged into other ports, they don't function and trigger an alarm.
Fans System Software The QFX5230-64CD runs the Junos OS Evolved operating system. It provides several capabilities that include Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, routing, and security services. Junos OS Evolved software is installed on the solid-state drive (SSD) in the switch.
-40V to -72V DC 12V@200A, 12VSB@1A • QFX5230-64CD cooling system — The cooling system consists of eight fans in four fan modules with each fan module containing 2 rotors. The cooling system offers 7+1 redundancy. The fan modules are color coded according to the airflow direction, and are FRUs that you can hot-insert and hot-remove.
Page 22
The power supplies and fan modules in the QFX5230-64CD are hot-insertable and hot-removable FRUs, meaning that you can swap them out without turning the switch off or interfering with its functionality.

The fan modules are available in two models that have different airflow directions: The QFX5230-64CD switches that support airflow out (AIR OUT) bring air into the vents in the port panel and exhausts warmed air through the field-replaceable units (FRU) panel. This type of airflow is airflow out or port-to-FRU airflow.

To ensure proper operation and to meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements, you must connect a QFX5230-64CD switch to earth ground before you connect power to the device. NOTE: You must install the QFX5230-64CD switch in a restricted–access location and ensure that the chassis is always properly grounded.
Page 51
Before you connect earth ground to the protective earthing terminal of a QFX5230-64CD switch, ensure that a licensed electrician has attached an appropriate grounding lug to the grounding cable. Using a grounding cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch.
LCD4-14A-L or equivalent (not provided). The grounding lug should accommodates 4 AWG stranded wire. • The grounding cable that you provide for a QFX5230-64CD must be 4 AWG, minimum 90° C wire, or as permitted by the local code. • Ensure you have two SAE 10-32 x 0.25 in. screws and number 10 split-lock washers and screws to attach the cable and bracket (not provided).
• Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the QFX5230-64CD. For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, you must leave adequate space at the front and back of the switch. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack or cabinet and 24 in.
• Electrical hazards as a result of power surges conducted over the lines into the equipment. QFX5230-64CD Rack Requirements QFX5230-64CD switches are designed to be installed on four-post racks. Rack requirements consist of: • Rack type • Mounting bracket hole spacing •...
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for maximum stability. QFX5230-64CD Cabinet Requirements You can mount the QFX5230-64CD in an enclosure or cabinet that contains a four-post 19-in. open Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) rack as defined in...
Page 56
• The QFX5230-64CD fans exhaust hot air either through the vents on the port panel or through the fans and power supplies. Install the switch in the cabinet in a way that maximizes the open space on the FRU side of the chassis.
Calculating Power Budget and Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables | 55 Determining QFX5230-64CD Optical Interface Support You can find information about the optical transceivers supported on your Juniper device by using the Hardware Compatibility Tool. In addition to transceiver and connection type, the optical and cable characteristics–where applicable–are documented for each transceiver.
The 40-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ and 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 transceivers that are used in QFX Series switches use 12-ribbon multimode fiber crossover cables with socket MPO/UPC connectors. The fiber can be either OM3 or OM4. These cables are not sold by Juniper Networks. CAUTION: To maintain agency approvals, use only a properly constructed, shielded cable.
Table 24: QSFP+ MPO Fiber-Optic Crossover Cable Pinouts (Continued) Understanding QFX Series Fiber-Optic Cable Signal Loss, Attenuation, and Dispersion IN THIS SECTION Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cables | 53 Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable | 54 To determine the power budget and power margin needed for fiber-optic connections, you need to understand how signal loss, attenuation, and dispersion affect transmission.
Page 61
are not coherent light sources. They spray varying wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which reflect the light at different angles. Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing signal dispersion. When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding (layers of lower refractive index material in close contact with a core material of higher refractive index), higher-order mode loss occurs.
TIP: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the pluggable transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device. To calculate the power budget and power margin, perform the following tasks: How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cables To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, you need to calculate the link's power budget, which is the maximum amount of power it can transmit.
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables After calculating a link's power budget, you can calculate the power margin (P ), which represents the amount of power available after subtracting attenuation or link loss (LL) from the power budget (P ).
In both examples, the calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient power for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.
