NOB Juniper ACX7100-32C-DC-AO ACX7100 chassis with 32 QSFP28/4 QSFP5

Overview

The ACX7100-32C-DC-AO is a high-performance fixed-form-factor cloud metro router in the Juniper ACX7000 family designed for service provider, edge, aggregation, and data center spine/leaf deployments. The model combines dense 100GbE and 400GbE connectivity with a 4.8 Tbps forwarding architecture, integrated MACsec capability, timing features for mobile and metro networks, and Junos OS Evolved support. The suffix DC-AO designates a DC-powered chassis with airflow-out (front-to-back) cooling, making it suitable for deployments aligned with hot/cold aisle data center designs and telecom environments requiring -48VDC power infrastructure.
