PTX10002-60C-AC

PTX10002-60C-AC is an enterprise Juniper router: PTX10002-60C Base SW + JNP10002-60C System with 60 100G Ports or 60 40G Ports or 192 10G Ports with 4 1600W AC Power Supplies, 4 Power Cables and 3 Fan Trays.

What this platform is for. The PTX1000 is a packet transport router from Juniper’s PTX line, built for core and peering duty. Knowing the family’s intended role is usually more useful than the part number when you are working out whether something fits: a chassis built for one job will do another, but rarely well, and the cost of that mismatch tends to show up as throughput or feature limits rather than as an outright failure.

Three questions worth answering before any router purchase, whatever the model. What the throughput requirement actually is with your feature set enabled, rather than the datasheet figure measured without it. Whether the features you need are licensed as well as present, since on most platforms security and performance are separate entitlements. And how many slots or ports you will need in three years, because adding capacity is cheap and replacing a chassis is not.

Worth knowing if you have not been following it: Juniper is now part of HPE. Hewlett Packard Enterprise completed its acquisition of Juniper Networks on 2 July 2025, and Juniper’s former chief executive now leads the combined HPE Networking business. HPE continues to list the Juniper lines, MX and PTX included, in its own portfolio.

For buying purposes that is mostly good news and it is directly relevant here, because we supply HPE as well. What the closing announcement did not do is make specific commitments about how long individual Juniper product lines will be sold or supported, so we are not going to imply any. If the lifecycle of a particular model matters to your decision, ask us and we will confirm it against HPE and Juniper’s current notices rather than guess from the acquisition.

Tell us what the router has to do, the circuits it has to terminate, the throughput you are designing to and whether you need the security features licensed. We would rather size it from the requirement than from a part number, because the two commonest mistakes on a router purchase are buying throughput that turns out to need a licence and buying a chassis with no slots left.

Green Code Technologies is a supplier of Juniper, and we supply Cisco and Huawei networking alongside HPE, Dell, Samsung, Netgear, Ubiquiti and Asus. We would rather tell you a part is no longer supported, or that we need to check it, than take an order for something that will not do what you need.
