Juniper Networks EX4600-40F-AFO EX4600 24-Port SFP+/SFP, 4-Port QSFP+ Ethernet Switch

Overview

The Juniper Networks EX4600-40F-AFO is a high-performance, compact Ethernet switch designed for data center, campus and enterprise environments. It delivers 24 SFP+ / SFP ports and 4 QSFP+ ports in a single 1U form factor, providing flexible uplink options and dense connectivity for modern network architectures. With Virtual Chassis technology, multiple EX4600 switches can be managed as a single logical device, simplifying operations and reducing total cost of ownership.
