Pluggable Optics For Juniper EX3200 Switches

High-performance businesses demand high-performance networking solutions. The Juniper Networks EX3200 line of Ethernet switches offer a compact, high- performance solution for supporting today’s converged network access deployments. This paper is about Juniper SFPtransceivers and SFP+ DAC cables for Juniper EX3200 Ethernet Switches solution.

EX3200 Ethernet Switches Description

The EX3200 line of fixed-configuration switches from Juniper Networks offer a high-performance standalone solution for access-layer deployments in branch and remote offices as well as campus networks.

Figure 1: The EX3200 line of Ethernet switches provide a high-performance solution for converged networks in branch offices as well as campus wiring closets.

Featuring complete Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities, the EX3200 satisfies the wiring closet connectivity requirements of today’s high-performance businesses. Four platform configurations are available offering 24 and 48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports with either full or partial Power over Ethernet (PoE). The base 24- and 48-port EX3200 switches deliver up to 18.6 watts of Class 3 PoE on the first eight ports for supporting networked devices such as telephones, video cameras and wireless LAN (WLAN) access points in converged networks. The EX3200 switches with full PoE deliver up to 18.6 watts on all 24 or 48 ports to support high-density IP telephony and other converged network environments.

High Availability Features:

• Field-replaceable power supplies: The EX3200 supports field- replaceable AC and DC power supplies, reducing MTTR.
• Hot-swappable fan tray: The EX3200 includes a hot-swappable, field-replaceable fan tray, reducing MTTR.
• Carrier-class hardware: The EX3200 leverages a purpose-built packet forwarding engine ASIC—the EX-PFE—which integrates much of the same intellectual property used in Juniper Networks carrier routers. As a result, the EX3200 delivers the same predictable, scalable functionality found in the world’s largest networks.
• Redundant Trunk Group (RTG): To avoid the complexities of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) without sacrificing network resiliency, the EX3200 employs a redundant trunk group to provide the necessary port redundancy and simplify switch configuration.

3rd-party Pluggable Optics Recommendation

To save more money, I suggest that compatible 3rd Optical Modules may be another good choice but you should ensure that your vendor is reliable. Fiberstore's SFP+ cables and fiber optic transceivers are 100% compatible with major brands, they are backed by a lifetime warranty so that you can buy with confidence. Additionally, customize optical transceivers to fit your specific requirements are available. If you have any requirement of fiber optics, Fiberstore will be a good choice for you.
