The Juniper QFX5130-48C-AFO provides 48 x 100GbE Ethernet ports. This high port count supports dense server and storage connectivity in each rack. It allows network architects to standardize on 100GbE at the access layer while keeping the design within a single 1U top of rack switch.

What uplink capacity is available on the QFX5130-48C-AFO?

Alongside its 48 x 100GbE ports, the QFX5130-48C-AFO includes 8 x 400GbE Ethernet ports. These ports are typically used for uplinks or aggregation, enabling high-bandwidth connections to spine or core layers in a data center network. This combination supports scalable spine and leaf architectures.

What is the form factor of the QFX5130-48C-AFO switch?

The QFX5130-48C-AFO is a 1U Ethernet switch. This compact form factor is well suited to data center racks where space efficiency is important. The 1U height allows organizations to deploy many switches and servers per rack while still achieving 48 x 100GbE and 8 x 400GbE connectivity.

Is the QFX5130-48C-AFO suitable for data center environments?

Yes, the QFX5130-48C-AFO is categorized at the datacenter product level. Its 1U design combined with 48 x 100GbE and 8 x 400GbE ports aligns with common data center requirements, including high-density server access and high-bandwidth uplinks for spine and leaf or aggregation topologies.

What type of network switch is the QFX5130-48C-AFO?

The QFX5130-48C-AFO is an Ethernet switch within Juniper’s QFX5130 line. It is specified as a 1U network switch offering 48 x 100GbE and 8 x 400GbE ports, making it suitable for data center roles such as top of rack, aggregation, or use within spine and leaf architectures.

Best for

Data center racks
Suited to dense data center racks where a 1U form factor is required and 48 x 100GbE ports plus 8 x 400GbE ports can aggregate server and uplink connections efficiently.
Spine and leaf architectures
Appropriate for spine and leaf designs that standardize on 100GbE for leaf or server-facing connections and 400GbE for spine or aggregation links within a compact 1U switch.
High-density top of rack
Fits top of rack deployments that need a high port count, with 48 x 100GbE for server attachment and 8 x 400GbE for upstream connectivity while staying within a 1U chassis.
Datacenter aggregation
Useful at the aggregation layer in datacenters where multiple 100GbE connections must be consolidated and carried upstream over 400GbE ports in a 1U switch footprint.
Standardized 100GbE access
Supports environments moving to standardized 100GbE access, using the 48 x 100GbE ports for hosts and storage while reserving the 8 x 400GbE ports for higher-capacity uplinks.
