The QFX5120 Switch includes four compact 1 U platforms—the QFX5120-48Y, the QFX5120-48YM, the QFX5120-48T, and the QFX5120-32C—that provide wire-speed packet performance, very low latency, and a rich set of Junos® operating system features.
QFX5120-48Y
The QFX5120-48Y is a 25GbE/100GbE data center leaf and campus distribution switch featuring:
- 48 25GbE (SFP28)/10GbE (SFP+)/1GbE (SFP) downlink ports
- Eight 100GbE (QSFP28)/40GbE (QSFP+) uplink ports
- Up to 2/4 Tbps (uni/bidirectional) of L2 and L3 performance, with latency as low as 800 nanoseconds
- A 2.2 GHz quad-core Intel CPU with 16 GB memory and 50 GB SSD storage
Using breakout cables, each of the eight 100GbE QSFP28 ports can be broken into four 25GbE SFP28 ports, while each 40GbE quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) transceiver ports can be broken into four 10GbE small form-factor pluggable plus (SFP+) transceiver ports, increasing the total number of supported 25GbE and 10GbE ports per switch to 80.
