Product Identity

The Juniper EX4300-48T-S is a 48-port Layer 3 Ethernet switch built for rackmount deployment in enterprise networks. It suits network engineers who need scalable switching with virtual chassis capability for data centre, campus or branch environments.

Deciding Specification

The switch provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports plus four 40 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots for high-speed uplinks. That port density and uplink capacity determine whether the unit matches your aggregation or access-layer design.

Bundled Impact

The Virtual Chassis feature lets up to 10 switches operate as a single logical device, simplifying management and allowing pay-as-you-grow expansion without additional licensing complexity.

Questions about this item

How does the 48-port count translate when the switch is stacked in a real deployment?

Up to 10 EX4300 switches can be linked through Virtual Chassis and managed as one logical device, giving a single point of control for all connected ports.

What does the 40 Gigabit uplink interface actually cap in practice?

The four expansion slots accept 40GBase-X modules, so aggregate uplink throughput is limited by the number and type of transceivers installed.

What physical space does the rackmount chassis need to fit?

The unit is a rackmount form factor designed for standard equipment racks.
