A High-powered Modular Router Made for a Variety of Networking Environments.
Juniper MX480 routers are designed with specifications suited for a wide range of networking applications, including cloud, campus, enterprise, service provider, cable and mobile.

Although it’s only the second most-powerful MX Series modular router, it’s substantially more powerful than the entry-level modular router. But it’s also nearly twice as big, requiring more space in networking facilities.

The MX480 is a Significant Step Up from the Entry-level Modular MX Series Router

Juniper MX480 routers are a scalable and powerful routing solution. At 8 rack units (RU), it offers more flexibility than the entry-level modular MX Series router, the MX240, because it has three times the number Modular Port Concentrator (MPC) slots. MPC slots are able to hold multiple Modular Interface Cards (MIC), which determine the quantity and types of ports that are available. The MX480 supports 6 MPCs, whereas the MX240 supports only 2 MPCs.

Every specification on Juniper MX480 routers is essentially three times stronger than on MX240 routers. The MX480 supports three times the number of total 1G, 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet ports. It also has a maximum capacity of 9 Tbps, which is three times greater than the maximum capacity on the MX240. The MX480, however, requires a larger frame in order to support its more advanced specifications.

MX480 Routers Offer Extremely High Port Density in a Relatively Small Frame

You can see in the chart below how exactly pre-owned MX480 routers stack up against the similarly designed MX240 and MX960 routers.
