Juniper ACX7024
Product Description
The Juniper Networks® ACX7000 family of Cloud Metro Routers is designed to help operators achieve their capital, operational, and user experience goals. Part of the Juniper Networks ACX7000 family of routers, the ACX7024 and ACX7024X deliver exceptional TCO, investment protection, and support Juniper® Cloud Metro for 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud applications. These routers are ideal for service provider, enterprise, and residential use cases requiring a highly flexible, compact, multiservice, and environmentally industrial-rated platform.
ACX7000 Family Overview
ACX7000 family of routers is purpose-built for the IP service fabric underlay of a Juniper Cloud Metro. They leverage the industry’s fastest chipset, provide a unique balance of system design, and set new benchmarks for sustainable, high-performance platforms. Managed by Junos® OS Evolved and Juniper Paragon™ Automation Portfolio, the ACX7000 routers are embedded with Paragon Active Assurance and with Zero Trust security built in, enabling operators to deliver highly differentiated customer experiences. Available in environmentally industrial-rated, fixed, fixed plus modular, and fully modular designs, these energy and footprint efficient multiservice routers support high-precision timing technologies and are engineered for service provider, enterprise, residential (including PON with the Juniper Unified PON Solution), IoT, and 4G/5G mobile applications.
Individually, ACX7000 platforms bring leading-edge performance, scale,
and capability to any deployment. When building a comprehensive Juniper Cloud
Metro architecture consisting of multiple ACX7000 family platforms, new
dimensions of end-to-end operational capability, performance, and simplicity
are realized. Forming the foundation of an IP service fabric underlay, the
ACX7000 family of routers shares innovative features that elevate operations
and enable the core characteristics of a Cloud Metro. To learn more about the
full potential of the ACX7024 and 7024X, combine the information in this
datasheet with the ACX7000 Family of Cloud Metro Routers Datasheet to
fully understand the capabilities of the ACX7000 family investment.

|
Junos OS Evolved and Embedded Active Assurance |
Managed by Junos OS Evolved, Juniper Paragon Active Assurance Test Agents are embedded into all ACX7000 platforms enabling automated monitoring, diagnosis, remediation, and optimization of service delivery, service performance, and differentiated user experience. |
|
Rugged and Efficient Design |
Environmentally industrial-rated (-40 ºC to +65 ºC), commercial-rated (0ᵒ C to 40ᵒ C), and compact footprint (1 U, 24 cm deep, 19 in. rack) supports a variety of deployments. Efficient range (<97 W typical*, 150 W max) with front-to-back airflow. NOTE: Typical power consumption measured at 25º C ambient with 50% load on all ports |
|
Build-As-YouGrow Operational Simplicity |
Two-post, fixed rack mounting, 24 multi-rate ports support native portby-port 1GbE, 10GbE, and 25GbE configuration and migration. As service demand grows, ACX7024 routers support usage of high-power 100GbE ZR transceivers on all supporting ports. |
|
Next-Gen Capabilities |
Next-gen capabilities include leading protocols such as segment routing, SRv6, MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN, advanced programmability, leading network slicing, telemetry, and support for any overlay, underlay, or service. |
|
Zero-Trust Security |
Enhanced security capabilities include secure boot, integrated tamperproof design, and trust anchor with DevID, enabling device attestation and enhanced security through a unique cryptographic digital identity. |
|
Cloud MetroReady |
ACX7024 and ACX7024X offer deep buffering for end-to-end service assurance, precision timing capabilities such as Synchronous Ethernet, Precision Time Protocol (PTP), and advanced Class C timing for latencyoptimized 5G service experiences, as well as GNSS/GPS (Grand master clock support via external GNSS receiver) network synchronization. An ideal choice for cloud metro, enterprise, and residential use cases, ACX7024 and ACX7024X also support the Juniper Unified PON Solution, IoT, and 4G/5G mobile applications. |
