Juniper QFX10000-60S-6Q Line Card for High-Density Data Center

What It Is

The Juniper QFX10000-60S-6Q is a line/interface card designed for installation in the Juniper QFX10000 series chassis, targeting spine and core layers of data center networks. Built on the Juniper Q5 ASIC with deep buffers and running Junos OS, it provides high-throughput traffic processing for large-scale IP fabrics.

Technical Details

• Product Type: Line/interface card for the QFX10000 platform
• Chipset: Juniper Q5 ASIC with deep buffers
• Operating System: Junos OS
• Function: Aggregates traffic from leaf switches at the spine layer of a data center IP fabric
• Traffic Handling: High-performance processing enabled by deep-buffer ASIC architecture
• Network Role: Supports EVPN-VXLAN deployments for virtualization and segmentation

Configuration & Options

• Compatible with Juniper QFX10000 chassis that support line card installation
• Requires corresponding management and power modules for operation
• Deployable in pairs to ensure redundancy in spine-layer configurations
• Suitable for multi-rack environments requiring centralized traffic aggregation
• Supports inter-data-center connectivity for distributed infrastructure setups

Operating Conditions

The card is deployed in enterprise data center environments, specifically at the spine layer of IP fabrics, where it provides connectivity between leaf switches. It operates within the QFX10000 chassis, which is intended for high-density, high-bandwidth core and spine roles. The card functions under Junos OS, requiring a controlled climate and standard rack-mount conditions typical for carrier-grade data center equipment.
