Overview

The Juniper QFX3500-48S4Q-AFOS is designed to meet the requirements of today's high-performance computing environments, offering a comprehensive solution for data center networking. With a switching capacity of 1.28 Terabits per second (Tbps) and a forwarding rate of 960 million packets per second (Mpps), this device ensures efficient data handling for both large and small packets. This switch supports both cut-through and store-and-forward switching modes, allowing for flexibility in managing traffic based on the specific needs of the network. The hardware includes 48 SFP+ ports, which can accommodate 36 dual-mode 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports and 12 dual-mode 10GbE or 2/4/8 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) ports. This versatility makes the QFX3500 suitable for a wide range of applications, from traditional data centers to high-demand computing environments. Additionally, the device features four QSFP+ ports, each capable of being configured as a 4 x 10GbE interface or as a single 40 Gbps port, offering further flexibility in network design and scalability. The presence of dual management ports (both copper and fiber versions) ensures that network administrators have the necessary access for management and troubleshooting. The QFX3500 is designed with reliability in mind, featuring redundant fan trays with options for port side-to-FRU side air flow, ensuring optimal cooling under various conditions. The switch supports both front-to-back and back-to-front airflow configurations, accommodating different rack setups and promoting efficient heat dissipation. Key specifications include: -
  • 48 SFP+ ports with flexibility for 10GbE or GbE and FC connectivity
  • Four QSFP+ ports for high-density 10GbE or 40GbE connections
  • Dual redundant (1+1) and hot-pluggable power supplies for continuous operation
With a weight of 30.75 lb (13.95 kg) including dual power supplies and fan modules, the QFX3500 is designed for ease of deployment in a standard 19-inch server rack, with dimensions that ensure a compact footprint in the data center. The switch operates reliably in a range of environmental conditions, with an operating temperature range of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C), and can function at altitudes of up to 2,000 meters. Its storage temperature range extends from -40° to 158° F (-40° to 70° C), and it can operate in relative humidity levels of 5% to 90% (non-condensing), ensuring resilience in various storage and operational contexts. Powering the QFX3500 can be achieved through either 110-240 V single phase AC power or -36 V to -72 V DC power, with dual redundant and hot-pluggable power supplies ensuring uninterrupted operation. This flexibility in power options, combined with its comprehensive set of features and capabilities, makes the Juniper QFX3500-48S4Q-AFOS a suitable choice for organizations looking to build or expand their network infrastructure with a reliable, high-performance switching solution.
