The Juniper MIC-3D-20GE-SFP-E is a modular interface card (MIC) designed for Juniper’s MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers—ideal for models like MX104, MX240, MX480, and beyond. It provides 20 SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports, complete with advanced features such as PTP (Precision Time Protocol) for accurate timing, MACsec encryption for security, and support for VLANs, VRRP, optical diagnostics, and jumbo MTUs.
Although once fully supported, it is now end-of-life (EOL) as of July 17, 2023, with end-of-service-life (EOSL) anticipated on January 17, 2029. If you're planning a deployment or upgrade path, just be aware of timeline limitations for vendor support.
