Juniper PTX10K-LC1102-IR 1.44T Interface Card

Equipment Overview

The Juniper PTX10K-LC1102-IR is a high-capacity interface card engineered for the PTX10000 core router family. Designed for service provider transport networks, it delivers 1.44 Tbps of throughput to support dense 100G/400G aggregation in IP/MPLS cores. The card is purpose-built for segment routing, traffic engineering, and high-load backbone deployments requiring deterministic performance.

Main Parameters

• Type: Line/interface card
• Platform: Juniper PTX10000 series core router
• Chipset: Juniper Express silicon
• Operating System: Junos Evolved
• Throughput: 1.44 Tbps
• MPN: PTX10K-LC1102-IR

Key Advantages

The PTX10K-LC1102-IR leverages Juniper Express silicon to provide wire-rate forwarding with low latency, making it suitable for demanding core and backbone roles. Its 1.44 Tbps capacity enables efficient scaling of 100G/400G port densities within a single chassis, reducing per-bit operational costs. Hot-swappable design simplifies field replacement and minimizes service disruption during maintenance windows.

Compatibility & Integration

The card installs into designated line-card slots of the PTX10000 chassis and requires Junos Evolved for operation. It is compatible with existing PTX10000 power and cooling infrastructure, supporting seamless integration into brownfield deployments. The interface card is qualified for IP/MPLS core architectures with segment routing and traffic-engineering capabilities.
