Description
The Juniper FPC2 (Flexible PIC Concentrator 2) is a modular interface card designed for use with Juniper M-series and T-series routers, providing scalable connectivity options for high-performance networking environments. Built with durability and long-term reliability in mind, the FPC2 supports multiple PICs (Physical Interface Cards), allowing users to customize port types and bandwidth to meet specific network requirements. Its robust construction and compatibility with legacy Juniper systems make it an ideal choice for upgrading or expanding existing infrastructure without the cost of new hardware. The unit features a hot-swappable design, enabling maintenance or upgrades without disrupting network operations.
Technically, the FPC2 supports a range of interface types including Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/SDH, ATM, and more, depending on the installed PICs. Each FPC2 can host up to two PICs, offering flexibility in port configuration and network protocol support. It connects directly to the router’s midplane, providing high-speed data throughput and efficient traffic processing. When purchasing used, buyers should verify the condition of the backplane connectors and cooling modules to ensure optimal performance in operational environments.
