Juniper QFX10016 Redundant DC Chassis – High-Density Core Switch Platform

What It Is

The Juniper QFX10016-REDUND-DC is a redundant DC-powered chassis from the Juniper QFX10000 series, designed for data center spine and core switching roles. Built around the Juniper Q5 deep-buffer ASIC chipset and running Junos OS, this platform is engineered to support large-scale IP fabric architectures and high-density traffic aggregation.

Technical Details

• Type: Chassis
• Platform: Juniper QFX10000 series spine/core data center switch
• Chipset: Juniper Q5 ASIC with deep buffers
• Operating System: Junos OS
• Power Supply: DC input, redundant configuration
• Form Factor: Modular chassis (line cards and modules not included)

Configuration & Options

• Chassis is supplied without line cards or modules; the specific component set must be confirmed at the time of ordering.
• Compatible with the full range of Juniper QFX10000 line cards and modules for flexible scalability.
• Intended for deployment alongside leaf switches such as Juniper QFX5110 or QFX5120 in a spine-leaf topology.
• Project registration with Juniper is required to enable formal support and service entitlement.

Operating Conditions

This chassis is intended for deployment at the spine layer of data center IP fabrics, aggregating traffic from leaf switches and supporting EVPN-VXLAN overlay networks. It is also suited for inter-data-center connectivity scenarios. The DC-powered variant is positioned for facilities with DC power distribution infrastructure. Deployment requires proper project documentation and Juniper equipment registration to ensure operational compliance and support readiness.
