Juniper PTX-5-100G-WDM 5x100G DWDM PIC

What It Is

The Juniper PTX-5-100G-WDM is a line/interface card for the Juniper PTX5000 core router family. It provides five 100G ports with DWDM support, enabling high-density optical transport within a single card. The module operates under Junos OS and is built on the Juniper Express silicon with FPC line-card architecture.
