The ACX5000 Universal Metro Routers are Juniper Networks’ top-of-rack router solutions for data centers
and campus distribution or aggregation environments. The ACX5000 router portfolio consists of
high-performance fixed-configuration routers that add higher port densities, additional scalability, and
improved latency to the ACX Series. The ACX5000 routers are available in two models—ACX5048 and
ACX5096. See “ACX5000 Router Models” on page 19.
ACX5000 routers offer a compact 1 U model and a 2 U model that provide wire-speed packet performance,
very low latency, and a rich set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. These routers have a high-throughput
Packet Forwarding Engine, and the performance of the control plane running on ACX5000 routers is
enhanced by the 1.5 Ghz dual-core Intel CPU with 8 GB of memory and 32 GB of solid-state drive (SSD)
storage.
The ACX5000 routers include both 10-Gigabit Ethernet and 40-Gigabit Ethernet fixed configurations.
