QFX10002 Switch
The QFX10002 fixed-configuration switch is a very dense, highly scalable platform designed for today’s most demanding data center, campus, and routing environments. It’s loaded with power and functionality, all housed in a compact, 2 U form factor.
Using our custom Q5 ASICs, the QFX10002 features a deep buffer with Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) to absorb network traffic spikes and reduce application latency. It supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE interfaces in the same platform, providing the flexibility to transition to greater network capacity as traffic demands increase.
Manage your QFX10002 with turnkey Juniper Apstra intent-based networking software, which automates the entire network lifecycle to simplify design, deployment, and operations and provides closed-loop assurance.

- Up to 60 ports of 100GbE
- Up to 72 ports of 40GbE
- Up to 288 ports of 10GbE
What are the main benefits of the QFX10002 switch?
As a member of the Juniper QFX10000 line of Switches, the QFX10002 delivers industry-leading scalability, density, and flexibility, helping cloud and data center operators build automated data center networks that provide superior long-term investment protection.
What is the throughput of the QFX10002?
The QFX10002 can deliver up to 12 Tbps of bidirectional throughput.
What are the top features of the QFX10002?
Three key features are described below.
- Virtual output queue (VOQ): The QFX10002’s VOQ-based architecture is designed for very large deployments, in which packets are queued and dropped on ingress during congestion with no head-of-line blocking.
- Automation: The switch supports a number of network automation features, including operations and event scripts, automatic rollback, zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), and Python scripting.
- Deep Buffer: The use of HMC memory for packet buffering on the ingress provides uncompromised congestion management capabilities and 100ms of buffering per port.
Who should use the QFX10002?
The QFX10002 is designed to allow cloud and data center operators to build cloud networks that best suit their deployment needs and easily evolve as requirements change over time. The QFX10002 provides the foundation for today’s data center, delivering long-term investment protection for current and emerging requirements. It’s also suitable for networks evolving to software-defined networking (SDN) and can integrate with VMware NSX SDN controllers.
