Juniper Networks ACX7100-32C Universal Access Router

The Juniper Networks ACX7100-32C is a fixed-form-factor Universal Access Router engineered for metro aggregation and enterprise WAN edge deployments requiring high-density 400GbE interfaces alongside carrier-grade timing and synchronization. Built on Juniper's purpose-built Triton ASIC, the platform delivers a programmable forwarding plane with deep buffer capabilities optimized for bursty metro traffic profiles, supporting both Ethernet and MPLS transport paradigms within a single, compact chassis. The router runs Juniper's Junos OS Evolved, ensuring a consistent operational model, full telemetry streaming via gNMI/gRPC, and support for modern automation frameworks including YANG data models and Ansible integration.

The ACX7100-32C is purpose-built to accelerate the transition from legacy transport networks to fully routed IP/MPLS and SRv6 architectures. It natively supports Segment Routing over MPLS (SR-MPLS) and Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6), enabling traffic engineering, fast reroute, and network slicing without the operational complexity of legacy RSVP-TE signaling. The platform supports FlexAlgo for topology-aware path computation, making it an ideal building block for intent-based WAN deployments serving distributed enterprise sites, 5G transport, and cable access aggregation scenarios.

Precision timing is a first-class capability on the ACX7100-32C, with hardware support for IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) as both Boundary Clock and Transparent Clock, SyncE (G.8261/G.8262), and ITU-T G.8275.1/G.8275.2 telecom profiles. This makes the platform directly applicable to latency-sensitive applications such as 5G fronthaul/midhaul/backhaul, financial trading infrastructure, and industrial automation networks. With 32 x 400GbE QSFP-DD ports and breakout support to 128 x 100GbE or 256 x 25GbE, the ACX7100-32C delivers exceptional port density and forwarding capacity within a 1RU footprint.

Ideal for

• Metro aggregation and edge routing for service providers modernizing legacy SDH/SONET transport to fully routed IP/MPLS and SRv6 architectures
• 5G transport infrastructure supporting fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul with IEEE 1588v2 PTP and SyncE timing distribution
• Enterprise WAN edge consolidation at distributed branch and regional sites requiring high-bandwidth uplinks and segment routing traffic engineering
• Peering and interconnect edge deployments demanding high-density 400GbE interfaces with BGP-LU and BGP-CT support for scalable inter-AS connectivity
• Cable access aggregation (Remote PHY/Remote MACPHY) leveraging precision timing and high-throughput forwarding for converged cable plant modernization
• Network slicing and traffic isolation for multi-tenant enterprise or wholesale carrier environments using FlexAlgo and SR policy with colored next-hops
