The MX480-PREMIUM2-AC is a high-performance modular router chassis optimized for service provider networks, offering scalable throughput, configurable redundant Routing Engines (REs), Switch Control Boards (SCBs) and Power Entry Modules (PEMs).
The MX480-BASE-AC chassis provides an empty 3U enclosure with fan trays, AC power supply bays, a Switch Control Board slot and dual Routing Engine slots for customer-installed SCBs, PEMs and REs.
Install two identical RE-S or RE-S+ modules in the dual RE slots to enable active/passive redundancy and non-disruptive failover.
The MX480 supports SCB-E, SCB-X or SCB-L models, each providing programmable fabric capacity and varied slot densities for flexible switching requirements.
You can deploy AC-PEM-600, AC-PEM-300, DC-PEM-−48V or mixed AC/DC PEMs for redundant power feeds and fault-tolerant operation.
Yes, the chassis supports mixed AC and DC PEMs in separate bays for simultaneous AC/DC power redundancy and load sharing.
With the Premium2 feature set, the MX480 delivers up to 2 Tbps of full-duplex packet forwarding capacity under the Junos OS.
The MX480 chassis provides eight line-card slots capable of accommodating 1RU, 2RU or 3RU interface cards for scalable port density.
It supports Ethernet (1/10/25/40/100 GbE), POS, SONET/SDH, OTN and MPLS interfaces via appropriate line-card modules.
High availability is realized through redundant REs, SCBs, PEMs and hot-swappable fan trays to ensure continuous operation during component replacement.
The MX480 employs front-to-back airflow with six hot-swappable fan trays, ensuring efficient heat dissipation and five-nine availability.
Onboard management includes RJ-45 Ethernet, RJ-45 console, USB, and dedicated out-of-band management ports for secure remote access.
Use Junos OS In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) workflows to apply patches or feature releases without traffic disruption.
Standard coverage includes a one-year hardware warranty; Juniper Care Service options extend support to 24x7 response, software updates and hardware replacement SLAs.
Contact your Juniper sales representative or use the online configurator; specify SKU MX480-PREMIUM2-AC plus desired RE, SCB and PEM modules for a complete solution.
