The Juniper MPC7E-10G-RTU is a high-performance Modular Port Concentrator (MPC) line card designed for Juniper MX Series routers, delivering scalable 10GbE connectivity and advanced routing capabilities for service provider and enterprise networks.
It features 40x 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) SFP+ ports, providing high-density connectivity for aggregation, core routing, and data center interconnect applications. Each port supports 1G or 10G speeds, offering flexibility for mixed network environments.
The card delivers up to 400 Gbps throughput, ensuring line-rate packet forwarding for demanding workloads. It is powered by Juniper’s Trio chipset, which enables high scalability for bandwidth, subscribers, and advanced services.
The RTU variant includes licensing that provides full-scale Layer 2 / Layer 2.5 features and reduced-scale Layer 3 capabilities, supporting up to 2 million routes in the FIB and 6 million routes in the RIB, along with up to 32 L3VPN instances per card.
This module is typically licensed for 20 active ports (expandable), and optical transceivers are sold separately, allowing flexible deployment based on network requirements.
It is compatible with Juniper MX Series routers such as MX240, MX480, and MX960, and is widely used in ISP edge, core routing, and large enterprise networks, where high port density and performance are essential.
