Overview
Featuring 48 wire-speed 10-gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports in a two rack unit (2U) platform, the Juniper Networks EX4500 Ethernet Switch delivers Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity to networked devices such as servers and other switches. The EX4500 base switch provides 40 fixed 10GbE pluggable ports that can also support GbE connectors for added flexibility. Two optional high-speed uplink modules offer four additional 10GbE small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP+) ports each connecting to upstream devices.
The EX4500 switches perfectly complement the Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switch product family: the Juniper Networks EX2200 line and EX3200 line designed for low-density access deployments; the EX4200 line designed for data centre and campus GbE access and aggregation deployments; and the EX8200 line of Ethernet switches designed for data centre campus core and aggregation environments.
Applications
The Juniper Networks EX4500 line of Ethernet switches delivers a scalable, high performance platform for supporting high-density 1 gigabit per second (Gpbs) and 10 Gbps data centre top-of-rack as well as data centre and campus deployments.
