Juniper QFX10008 Redundant DC Chassis – High-Density Core Switching

What It Is

The Juniper QFX10008-REDUND-DC is a redundant DC-powered chassis designed for the QFX10000 series of spine/data center core switches. It is built around the Juniper Q5 deep-buffer ASIC and operates on Junos OS, providing a high-performance foundation for large-scale IP fabric deployments. This chassis houses line cards and management modules for enterprise data center environments.

Technical Details

• Form Factor: Chassis for line cards and routing engine modules.
• Platform Class: Spine/data center core switch for the Juniper QFX10000 series.
• Chipset: Juniper Q5 ASIC with deep buffering.
• Operating System: Junos OS.
• Power Input: DC.
• Redundancy: Supplied with redundant components (REDUND).

Configuration & Options

• Chassis includes redundant DC power supplies and cooling modules.
• Supports installation of QFX10000 series line cards (sold separately).
• Accommodates dual routing engine modules for control plane redundancy.
• Designed for integration with leaf switches in a spine-leaf IP fabric topology.

Operating Conditions

This chassis is deployed in enterprise data center core or spine layers, where it aggregates traffic from multiple leaf switches and forwards it toward the network core. It supports EVPN-VXLAN for virtualized network segmentation and VM mobility, making it suitable for multi-tenant and cloud-scale environments. The DC power option targets facilities with direct current power distribution.
