Juniper EX8200 Brochure & Specs

Product Overview
Juniper Networks EX8200 Ethernet
line cards offer a variety of interfaces
for supporting high-density 100 Mbps,
Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
deployments. Working with the
Juniper Networks EX8208 eight-slot
and EX8216 16-slot modular Ethernet
switch chassis, the EX8200 Ethernet
line cards offer flexible, high-density
interfaces for high-performance data
center and campus aggregation and
core environments.

LINE CARDS

Product Description

The Juniper Networks EX8200 line of Ethernet switches offer powerful, modular
®
platforms that deliver the performance, scalability, and carrier-class reliability required for
today's high-density enterprise data center access and core and campus aggregation and
core environments, as well as high-performance service provider interconnects.
EX8200 Ethernet line cards are specifically designed to optimize enterprise applications.
Each EX8200 Ethernet line card includes either two or four on-board Packet Forwarding
Engines—the EX-PFE2—that are equipped with two purpose-built, application-specific
integrated circuits (ASICs), one to perform wire-speed packet processing at line rates, and
another to perform internal deep packet queuing and buffering while providing a high-
speed interface to the chassis switch fabric. In addition, each line card contains a local
processor which provides scalable local control and status processing.
Eight versions of the EX8200 Ethernet line cards are available, each of which supports
a consistent set of features and capabilities: the EX8200-48T, the EX8200-48F, the
EX8200-8XS, the EX8200-40XS, the EX8200-48TL, the EX8200-48PL, the EX8200-
2XS-40T and the EX8200-2XS-40P. Four of these cards are available in Extra Scale (ES)
configurations—the EX8200-48T-ES, the EX8200-48F-ES, the EX8200-8XS-ES and
the EX8200-40XS-ES—which are optimized for large-scale deployments such as large
campuses, global data centers, or cloud-based applications.
EX8200-48T: The EX8200-48T Ethernet line card offers wire-rate 48
10/100/1000BASE-T ports with RJ-45 copper connectors. Designed for data center end-
of-row server access, or campus applications where high densities, high performance, and
high availability over copper links of up to 100 m are required, the EX8200-48T enables up
to 384 line-rate ports in a single EX8208 chassis, or 768 ports in an EX8216 chassis.
EX8200-48F: The EX8200-48F is a 48-port wire-rate 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X line
card with modular small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP) interfaces for supporting
a wide range of 100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet optical connections over multimode fiber,
single-mode fiber, or copper cabling. Designed for high-performance enterprise and
service provider distribution applications, the EX8200-48F also enables up to 384 line-
rate ports in an EX8208 chassis, and 768 ports in an EX8216 chassis.
