Juniper QFX10K-2P-DWDM DWDM Interface Card

What It Is

The Juniper QFX10K-2P-DWDM is a two-port DWDM interface line card designed for the QFX10000 series switches. It operates at the spine layer of an IP data center fabric and is built on the Juniper Q5 ASIC with deep buffers. The card runs under Junos OS and provides dense wavelength division multiplexing connectivity for high-capacity aggregation.
