PTX1000

The PTX1000 Packet Transport Router provides high-density 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE interfaces for distributed core networks and network applications, meeting the demands of Internet service providers and high-volume content providers.

Occupying only two rack units, the PTX1000 is the industry's first fixed-configuration core router that enables service providers to organically distribute peering points throughout the network. It uses a rich IP/MPLS feature set without sacrificing performance or deployability, two factors on which total cost of ownership (TCO) pivots for service providers.

With 2.88 Tbps of forwarding capacity, the PTX1000 supports flexible interface configuration options ranging from 288 10GbE interfaces using a quad small form-factor pluggable plus (QSFP+) breakout module, 72 GbE interfaces at 40 Gbps using a QSFP+ breakout module, and 24 100GbE interfaces using QSFP28.
