Compact 5U Chassis with 1.6 Tbps Throughput

The Juniper MX240 is a rack-mountable router chassis that fits in a standard 5U space and delivers up to 1.6 Tbps of system capacity. It is built for service-provider and enterprise networks that need high-density 10 GbE, 40 GbE and 100 GbE interfaces alongside legacy SONET, SDH, ATM and PDH connectivity. SDN-ready architecture supports virtualised network services, virtual chassis and virtual CPE functions to simplify operations.

Suited for High-Density Edge Aggregation

This platform suits network operators who need a modular 5U edge router with redundant power supply support and three expansion slots for line-card growth. It is not intended for buyers who require a fixed-configuration appliance, integrated firewall blade or built-in compute modules. Organisations without rack space or those seeking a desktop form factor should consider other form factors.

Modular Expansion and Redundant Power

Three total expansion slots allow the chassis to be populated with a mix of interface cards for 10, 40 and 100 GbE as well as legacy interfaces, so the same hardware adapts to changing traffic profiles. Redundant power supply support removes a single point of failure for continuous uptime. RoHS compliance confirms the unit meets restricted-substance requirements for regulated deployments.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power redundancy does the 5U MX240 chassis require?

The chassis occupies 5 rack units (8.7" high) and supports redundant power supplies, so plan for a 5U slot and dual power feeds in your rack.

Can the three expansion slots accept my existing 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE line cards?

Yes, the three slots support high-density 10GbE, 40GbE and 100GbE interfaces as well as legacy SONET/SDH and PDH modules.

How do I verify the 1.6Tbps capacity is active after installation?

Check the chassis alarm LEDs and the Junos CLI for "Chassis Fabric Capacity 1.6Tbps" and confirm all three slot LEDs show online status.
