Juniper QFX5130-48C-DC-AFO 48x100G + 8x400G 1U Switch | Data Center

Drive dense east-west traffic through a compact 1U platform designed for modern data center fabrics. The Juniper QFX5130-48C-DC-AFO combines 48 x 100G ports with 8 x 400G uplinks, giving infrastructure teams the port density needed for leaf-spine architectures and the uplink bandwidth required to keep aggregation layers from becoming bottlenecks. This model is a strong fit when rack space is constrained but bandwidth demand keeps rising. The 100G access ports support high-performance server and storage connectivity, while the 400G uplinks provide a clear path for fabric expansion and oversubscription control. That mix makes it easier to standardize on fewer switch tiers, simplify cabling, and preserve headroom for future workload growth. For teams evaluating premium switching platforms, the value is in the density and speed profile. You are not buying extra ports you will never use; you are buying a fabric node sized for serious throughput, with enough uplink capacity to support large-scale virtualization, AI clusters, and high-volume application environments. In environments where every rack unit and every microsecond matters, this switch earns its place.
