Juniper FPC3-SFF-PTX-1T-R Interface Card for PTX3000

Equipment Overview

The Juniper FPC3-SFF-PTX-1T-R interface card is a line card engineered for the compact core router PTX3000 third-generation chassis. It delivers 1 Tbps of throughput per slot and operates on Junos OS, powered by the Juniper Express silicon chipset. This module is intended for building high-performance network cores at a reduced scale, supporting 100G aggregation and high-speed interconnects. It serves as a core-level traffic aggregation solution for service providers and large enterprises.

Main Parameters

• Type: Line/interface card
• Platform: Juniper PTX3000 (3rd gen)
• Throughput: 1 Tbps
• Chipset: Juniper Express silicon
• Operating System: Junos OS
• Form Factor: Hot-swappable line card slot

Key Advantages

This card enables network operators to modernize existing PTX3000 deployments by scaling slot capacity to 1 Tbps, providing a cost-efficient path to higher-density core aggregation. Its compact design is optimized for smaller-scale core networks while maintaining carrier-grade performance. The use of Juniper Express silicon ensures consistent behavior within the PTX3000 ecosystem.

Compatibility & Integration

The FPC3-SFF-PTX-1T-R is compatible exclusively with third-generation PTX3000 chassis and installs into designated line card slots. Hot-swap support facilitates in-service replacement. It requires a corresponding Junos OS release and is recommended for deployment with compatible optical modules to achieve 100G connectivity.
