Juniper MX10K-LC480 Line Card MX10K-LC480-BASE | Routing, Junos, Enterprise

Increase forwarding capacity in the Juniper MX10000 Modular Universal Routing Platform with the MX10K-LC480 line card. Built for service-provider and large enterprise cores, it adds 480 Gbps of line-rate capacity in a modular form that fits demanding aggregation, edge, and backbone designs. This integrated SKU ships with standard Junos, giving network teams a familiar operating model for routing policy, automation, and lifecycle management. The result is a cleaner path to scale without changing the control plane approach already used across Juniper environments. The MX10K-LC480-BASE is suited to deployments where port density, throughput, and chassis-based resiliency are more valuable than fixed-box simplicity. It is designed for teams that need to grow capacity inside an existing MX10000 investment rather than replace the platform. That makes it a strong fit for networks carrying critical traffic, where the cost of congestion or redesign is higher than the cost of a premium line card.
