Juniper QFX10002-60C 100GE Switch for High-Density Data Center

Equipment Overview

The Juniper QFX10002-60C is a high-performance spine switch designed for data center IP fabric architectures. Operating under Junos OS, this 2U chassis provides 60 fixed 100GbE ports using QSFP28 optics, enabling high-density aggregation for leaf-to-spine topologies. The device delivers a switching capacity of 5.76 Tbps and a forwarding performance of 2 billion packets per second (Bpps), making it suitable for building high-speed data center network cores.

Main Parameters

• Ports: 60 x 100GbE (QSFP28)
• Switching Capacity: 5.76 Tbps
• Forwarding Performance: 2 Bpps
• Form Factor: 2U rack-mountable (19-inch)
• Power Supply: 4 x 1600W AC modules
• Cooling: 3 fan modules
• Operating System: Junos OS

Key Advantages

This model is selected for enterprise projects requiring deterministic, wire-rate 100GbE spine capacity in a compact form factor. The 5.76 Tbps non-blocking architecture and high packet processing rate support demanding east-west traffic patterns typical of modern virtualized workloads. Redundant AC power supplies and modular cooling ensure operational continuity in mission-critical data center environments.

Compatibility & Integration

The QFX10002-60C integrates into Juniper IP fabric architectures as a spine layer, aggregating traffic from QFX series leaf switches. It supports standard 100GbE QSFP28 transceivers and operates within Junos OS environments, allowing unified network management across Juniper-based data center deployments. The unit mounts into standard 19-inch racks with AC power infrastructure.
