The Juniper MPC5E-40G10G delivers exceptional networking capability with its fixed-port configuration featuring six 40 gigabit ethernet ports and twenty-four 10 gigabit ethernet ports. This high-density design maximizes rack space efficiency while providing the versatility network professionals need to support diverse connectivity requirements across the enterprise.
With line-rate throughput of up to 240 Gbps, the MPC5E-40G10G empowers your network with the capacity to handle demanding workloads. When configured in either enhanced ip or enhanced ethernet network services mode, this line card delivers full scale packet forwarding capabilities essential for modern data centers. The MPC5E-40G10G supports up to 32,000 queues per slot, enabling granular traffic management and quality of service implementation.
Designed specifically for the Juniper MX Series routers including the MX240, MX480, and MX960 router models, the MPC5E-40G10G integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure. This line card works exclusively with enhanced Switch Control Boards (MX-SCBE and MX-SCBE2), providing an upgrade path that preserves your investment while adding next-generation capabilities to your networking environment.
Built to support evolving networking demands, the MPC5E-40G10G provides configuration flexibility with both LAN-PHY mode at 10.3125 Gbps and WAN-PHY mode at 9.95328 Gbps available on a per-port basis. This adaptability ensures your network can be optimized for various deployment scenarios while maintaining compatibility with junos os versions 13.3R3, 14.1R2, 14.2R1 or later releases for maximum operational efficiency.

The MPC5E-40G10G offers comprehensive software feature support through the robust junos os environment. The card delivers full scale L2 and L2.5 capabilities, with the option to enhance L3 functionality through additional licensing. Key software features include:
The MPC5E-40G10G represents Juniper’s commitment to forward-compatible networking hardware. This part number integrates optimally with:
The MPC5E-40G10G delivers consistently high performance across varied networking environments:
The MPC5E-40G10G provides exceptional value through its high port density and 240 gbps throughput capacity. By supporting both 40 gigabit and 10 gigabit interfaces in a single slot, this line card reduces the number of chassis slots needed, lowering your overall price per port while maximizing networking capacity.
When integrating the MPC5E-40G10G into your network, ensure your MX Series router is configured in either enhanced ip or enhanced ethernet network services mode, as the card will only power on in these modes. Confirm compatibility with your existing Switch Control Board, as this line card requires the enhanced versions (MX-SCBE or MX-SCBE2) and will not function with legacy SCBs.
The MPC5E-40G10G supports future-proofing through its versatile port configuration that handles both current and next-generation connectivity needs. With support for up to 32 L3VPN instances and 32,000 queues, the card provides the scaling capability needed for growing networks, while junos os compatibility ensures ongoing feature enhancements through later releases.
The MPC5E-40G10G is designed for high-availability environments with support for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and robust error handling capabilities. The card’s integration with the juniper MX series chassis provides hardware redundancy through power and cooling systems, while the networking ports can be configured in redundant topologies to ensure continuous operation time even during component failures.
Successful deployment of the MPC5E-40G10G requires careful planning for power and cooling, as the card consumes approximately 460 watts during operation. When configured, the line card integrates with Juniper’s management framework for simplified provisioning and monitoring. For optimal use, configure the appropriate network services mode and ensure you’ve installed junos os 13.3R3 or later to access the full feature set of this powerful networking component.
