Acx5000 Line of Universal Metro Routers Datasheet
Product Description
The Juniper Networks® ACX5000 line of Universal Metro Routers is a response to a shift in
metro network architectures where the access and aggregation layers are extending
operational intelligence from the service provider edge to the access network. The
ACX5000 line simplifies access and aggregation architectures by eliminating unnecessary
Product Overview layers and network overlays, dramatically reducing CapEx and OpEx. Based on architectural
simplification and cost reduction, the ACX5000 line gives service providers and enterprises
The ACX5000 line of Universal the ability to adopt a true universal metro paradigm. The ACX5000 line also provides high
Metro Routers adds operational capacity, scalability, and a packet optical transport layer, while delivering industry-leading
intelligence to metro performance with a wide range of port densities and interface types. Table 1 provides an
