Juniper Networks MPC10E-10C-MRATE

The Juniper Networks MPC10E-10C-MRATE, part number MPC10E-10C, is an MPC line card for MX240, MX480, and MX960 universal routers, delivering up to 1.0 Tbit/s of throughput with an enhanced backplane, or 800 Gbps with a standard backplane. It features 8 x QSFP28 multirate ports (10/40/100 GbE) and 2 x QSFP56-DD ports (10/40/100 GbE), with two packet forwarding engines each providing up to 500 Gbps of maximum bandwidth.

Compared to the MPC10E-15C, the MPC10E-10C-MRATE offers lower density — 10 ports versus 15 — at a reduced cost, while maintaining QSFP56-DD compatibility for future evolution toward 400G. It is suitable for telecom operators and enterprises deploying MX routers with aggregate traffic up to one terabit, and requiring a phased transition toward 400G speeds. Power consumption ranges from 522 W at 25 °C to 572 W at 55 °C. Genuine Juniper hardware, manufacturer warranty.
