Description
Overview of the PIC Expansion Module
The M320-FPC1-E2 is an enhanced version of the M320-FPC1, which is a Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) designed for use with the Juniper M320 router. The M320-FPC1-E2 allows you to add more Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) slots to your M320 router, providing increased flexibility and scalability.
Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC)
The M320 router uses the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) to provide connectivity to various physical and logical interfaces. The FPC is a modular component that can be removed and replaced while the router is still operational. The M320 router can support up to eight FPCs, allowing you to customize the router’s configuration to meet your specific networking requirements.
The M320-FPC1-E2 enhances the M320 router’s capability by providing two additional FPC slots. The module can support up to 4x 10GbE PICs, 4x 2.5Gbps, or 8x 1Gbps PICs, making it ideal for high-performance networking applications.
