The Juniper MPC7E-MRATE is a modular port concentrator module designed for Juniper MX Series routers, providing high-density, high-speed Ethernet ports with flexible breakout options for scalable data networking.
Compatibility depends on the specific switch control boards and routing engines installed in your Juniper router. To ensure full compatibility, consult the official Juniper compatibility matrix or reach out to your BrightStar sales representative for personalized assistance.
The MPC7E-MRATE features twelve QSFP+ ports. Each port can operate as a 40-Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) port or be broken out into four 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports. Additionally, four of the twelve ports support 100-Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) via QSFP28 modules.
It includes twelve QSFP+ cages configurable for 10GbE, 40GbE, or 100GbE speeds. The module supports breakout cables allowing each QSFP+ port to split into four 10GbE interfaces for flexible connectivity.
The Juniper MPC7E-MRATE supports throughput up to 480 Gbps on MX240, MX480, and MX960 routers. For MX2000 routers, throughput varies by forwarding card, with up to 400 Gbps using SFB and up to 430 Gbps using SFB2.
Yes, the MPC7E-MRATE is designed as a fixed-configuration modular port concentrator, enabling scalable expansion of your network infrastructure with high-speed Ethernet connectivity.
The module is managed and configured through Juniper’s Junos OS, which supports CLI commands and integrates with network management tools like Junos Space for streamlined configuration and monitoring.
The MPC7E-MRATE operates up to 55°C at sea level with all slots populated and up to 40°C at altitude for any MPC slot. Power consumption varies with temperature: approximately 440 W at 25°C, 465 W at 40°C, and 545 W at 55°C.
The MPC7E-MRATE does not natively support MACsec encryption. Security features and encryption depend on the router platform and software configuration. Refer to Juniper’s documentation for available encryption options on your specific router.
The module features bicolor OK/FAIL LEDs: steady green indicates operational status and yellow indicates failure. Each port has LINK LEDs where steady green means link up and off means link down.
The MPC7E-MRATE-IRB supports integrated routing and bridging (Layer 2 and Layer 3), ideal for mixed traffic environments. The MPC7E-MRATE-RB provides routing and bridging but with fewer integrated features than the IRB version. The MPC7E-MRATE-RTU is routing-only, optimized for pure Layer 3 performance without bridging support.
