The ACX7509, from the ACX7500 line, is an 8-slot, 4.8 Tbps, modular, high-density multiservice router engineered to offer best-in-class performance, footprint, power efficiency, and scale. The innovative design approach includes centralized architecture for operational simplification and bandwidth flexibility, opening new possibilities for network transformation. The ASIC-free interface modules provide 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, 50GbE, 100GbE, 200GbE, and 400GbE build-as-you grow port speed flexibility—ideal for high fan-out aggregation services and legacy network support use cases.
ACX7509 supports three types of field replaceable FPCs for packet forwarding. These are installed vertically in the front slots of chassis and function as port extenders.
Designed for service providers, wholesale, large enterprise, and data center use cases, the ACX7509 is also a foundational building block of an IP services fabric in a Juniper Cloud Metro solution.
