Pre-owned Juniper MX5 Routers Are a Cost-effective Entry Point to the MX Series
Used Juniper MX5 routers serve as the baseline for the MX Series. The MX5 is best suited for enterprise and service provider networking applications. Its small size makes it ideal for facilities with limited hardware space. Although the MX5 is limited in terms of port configurations and density, it’s a more cost-effective solution than other MX Series routers that have similar specifications.

Used Juniper MX5 Routers Offer a Simple Solution for 1G Ethernet Networks

The MX5 is equipped with the most basic specifications of all used Juniper MX Series routers, although it shares a few features with higher-performing MX Series routers. It’s 2 rack units (RU) in size, and is designed as a fixed-configuration router.

The MX5 router includes three Modular Interface Card (MIC) slots, which allow port configurations to be customized. There are two slots on the front and one on the back, but only one of the front slots is accessible without upgrading the router. The slot on the back is dedicated to a Multiservices MIC (MS-MIC), which handles the processing for specific services. The MX5 supports up to 1G Ethernet – without any upgrades – and has a maximum capacity of 40 Gbps.

The MX5 Router is One of Several MX Series Routers that Measures 2 RU

Below is a chart that compares several specifications of pre-owned Juniper MX5 routers to other Juniper routers that are designed as fixed-configuration devices, including the MX10, the MX80, the MX104, the MX150 and the MX204.
