Juniper EX Series EX4000-12P switch - L3 managed - 12x Gigabit PoE+

The Juniper EX4000-12P is a high-performance Layer 3 managed switch from the Juniper EX Series, designed for enterprise access and edge deployments. With 12 Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ ports and 2 uplink SFP/SFP+ ports, it delivers reliable connectivity and power for devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The switch offers advanced features including VLANs, routing protocols (RIP, OSPF), and robust security mechanisms, making it ideal for businesses seeking a scalable and secure network infrastructure.

Advantages

This switch provides a cost-effective solution for powering and connecting network devices with PoE+ support (125W budget). Its Layer 3 capabilities enable efficient inter-VLAN routing, reducing the need for additional routers. The Virtual Chassis technology allows stacking multiple switches for simplified management and high availability. With a switching capacity of 68 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 51 Mpps, it ensures smooth data flow even under heavy loads.

Suitable for

• Small to medium-sized businesses requiring a managed PoE+ switch
• Enterprise access layer deployments with mixed device types
• Networks needing advanced security and QoS features
• Applications requiring Layer 3 routing at the edge
