We've used lots of these: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/reference/general/mpc5e-6x40ge-24x10ge.html
but if this is your first 40G port, that's probably not cost effective. Also note, only half the ports can be powered up, so it's 24x10G, or 6x40G, or 12x10G + 3x40G. If you have a spare MIC slot, I suspect this is a much cheaper route: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/reference/general/mic-mx-series-40-gigabit-ethernet-qsfp.html Message: 3 Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2019 16:58:55 -0600 From: John Brown <j...@citylinkfiber.com> To: juniper-nsp <juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net> Subject: [j-nsp] 40Gig Ether for MX480 Message-ID: <CAH_b1v7hgGduF5DqdosmY=pjuzv7aw-cx2qego_c1a_m9b7...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hi, I have a client that is wanting a 40Gig ether handoff. What would folks recommend for an interface on a MX480 system? The customer is also asking if we need to handle G.709 FEC.... Thoughts and tips appreciated. -- Respectfully, John Brown, CISSP Managing Member, CityLink Telecommunications NM, LLC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis, MCP :) | I route | therefore you are _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
