Description
Product Overview
Juniper Networks is a leading provider of networking equipment and solutions. The company’s MX Series routers are designed to provide high-performance, scalable solutions for enterprise and service provider networks. The MX Series routers are modular in design and support a variety of interface cards to meet the diverse requirements of modern networks. One such interface card is the MIC-3D-4XGE-XFP, which is an expansion module that provides four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports.
Modular Interface Card Expansion Module
The MX Series routers are designed to be highly modular, allowing network administrators to add or remove interface cards as needed to meet the changing demands of their networks. The modular design of the MX Series routers also allows for easy upgrades to new technologies as they become available.
The MIC-3D-4XGE-XFP is a modular interface card expansion module designed for use with the MX Series routers. The module provides four 10GbE ports, which can be used for a variety of applications, including high-speed data transfer, video streaming, and virtualization.
XFP Interfaces
The MIC-3D-4XGE-XFP module uses XFP interfaces for connecting to other network devices. XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) is a type of transceiver that supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps. XFP interfaces are commonly used in high-speed data networks and are compatible with a wide range of networking equipment.
The XFP interfaces used in the MIC-3D-4XGE-XFP module are hot-swappable, which means that they can be inserted or removed from the module without shutting down the router. This feature allows network administrators to add or remove XFP modules as needed without disrupting network operations.
