Juniper QFX5100-96S-AFI 96-Port 10GbE Switch

Product Description

The Juniper QFX5100-96S-AFI is a managed access/aggregation switch from the QFX5100 series, designed for enterprise data center environments. Operating under Junos OS, this 2U device provides high-density 10GbE and 40GbE connectivity for large-scale server aggregation and storage network deployments. It is suitable for B2B buyers requiring a reliable, high-throughput switching platform for mission-critical infrastructure.

Technical Specifications

• Ports: 96 x SFP+ (10GbE) + 8 x QSFP+ (40GbE)
• Switching Capacity: 2.56 Tbps
• Form Factor: 2U rack-mountable
• Power Supply: AC (per -AFI suffix)
• Airflow: Back-to-front (AFI), for hot-aisle containment
• Operating System: Junos OS
• Breakout Support: QSFP+ to 4 x 10GbE

Design Features

• High port density in a compact 2U footprint, optimizing rack space utilization
• Back-to-front airflow (AFI) aligns with hot-aisle/cold-aisle cooling architectures
• Built-in support for QSFP+ breakout cables, increasing flexibility for 10GbE connectivity
• FCoE support enables converged storage and LAN traffic over a single fabric
• Junos OS provides consistent automation and programmability features

Application Area

This switch is deployed as an access or aggregation layer device in enterprise data centers across Poland and the CEE region. It aggregates large numbers of 10GbE servers and connects to core switches via 40GbE uplinks, supporting both traditional and converged SAN environments with FCoE. The QFX5100-96S-AFI is suited for colocation facilities, private cloud infrastructure, and large-scale virtualized environments requiring high-density, low-latency switching.
