Description
The Juniper MIC‑3D‑20GE‑SFP‑E is an enhanced high‑density Modular Interface Card (MIC) designed for the Juniper MX Series Universal Routing Platforms to deliver scalable, reliable 20‑port Gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE) connectivity via SFP interfaces. Built for demanding enterprise WAN, service provider edge, and data center environments, this enhanced MIC supports advanced Junos OS networking features including VLANs, QoS, ACLs, routing protocols, multicast, and deep packet inspection.
This E‑series enhanced version typically offers improved performance and feature support over standard variants, giving operators higher throughput efficiency and enhanced protocol support for large‑scale deployments. The MIC‑3D‑20GE‑SFP‑E is ideal for scenarios requiring dense 1 GbE Ethernet interfaces — such as subscriber aggregation, metro access networks, and WAN edge routing — while providing flexibility through the use of interchangeable SFP optics (modules sold separately).
Designed for modularity and service continuity, the interface card is hot‑swappable and integrates seamlessly into compatible MX chassis platforms (e.g., MX80, MX104, MX240, MX480, MX960, MX10003). When paired with the appropriate MPC (Modular Port Concentrator) slots, it enables operators to scale port density without a complete chassis upgrade.
Key Features:
• 20× 1 GbE SFP ports for high‑density Ethernet connectivity via interchangeable optics
• Hot‑swappable design for serviceability and reduced operational costs
• Enhanced performance and protocol support with Junos OS (QoS, ACLs, multicast, routing)
• Compatible with a wide range of SFP transceivers (sold separately) for fiber/ copper links
• Ideal for MX router deployments in enterprise WAN, edge aggregation, and metro networks
