Platform details
The MX960 deploys world-class performance and scale to improve a wide range of critical revenue-generation applications. The MX960 is a proven platform across cable, mobile and data centre networks. The SDN-enabled MX960 Universal Routing Platform is a highly scalable modular chassis-based platform that has been designed for agility to keep up with the rapidly evolving market conditions with ease. Powered by the Junos operating system and programmable Trio 5 silicon, it is perfect for consolidating networks and services.
The MX960 supports high-speed transport, flexible Ethernet (FlexE), diverse Layer 2, Layer 3 VPN services and advanced broadband network gateway (BNG) functions. Beyond that, the MX960 offers extensive edge functionality and integrates seamlessly with standards-based SND controllers. Security-wise, built-in MACsec encryption protects 10/40/100 GbE with no performance penalties, and edge threat intelligence detects and blocks malicious traffic.
The MX960’s 14 slots can accommodate a huge amount of hardware, from 11 DPCs or MPCs to six FPCs and two SCBs. In all, it provides 480 Gbps of switch fabric capacity per slot. The Juniper MX960 guarantees efficient, adaptable performance in a highly scalable design – perfect for providers who need versatile, responsive hardware for their cable, mobile and data centre networks. Surprisingly, despite the huge amount of performance on offer, the unit is just 16 rack units tall – so three can fit in a single floor-to-ceiling bracket.

Juniper MX960 router repair services
The Juniper MX960 router can be repaired at our repair centre. This device is an Ethernet router for the network edge whereby it is connected to the core network routers on one side and external network devices on the other. It is used all over the world by Telecom Companies and large enterprises. It is a large 16 RU ( rack unit) chassis and it has 14 slots. These slots can be filled with large carrier cards which are variously known as DPC ( dense port concentrator), FPC (Flexible PIC Concentrator) or MPC (Modular Port Concentrator).
The FPC and MPC are then populated with the PIC (Physical Interface Card ) and MIC (Modular Interface Card) the function of these are the same, to provide the physical interface and to handle packet forwarding. MPC/MIC is a later generation. The chassis also contains the SCB (Switch Control Board) which manages the data between all the line cards mentioned above, manages the overall system and chassis and also it houses the routing engine. 100 Gbps is supported using pluggable optical modules of various generations from CFP to QSFP28 as is Ethernet, SDH and ATM protocols. The main competitor product line is the Cisco ASR portfolio. The system was followed by the later MX2010 and MX2020.
The TXO repair centre is able to repair cards belonging to the Juniper MX960. Our service includes diagnostics and fault find, repair intervention and subsequent testing in the reference system post-repair. Our repair centre is also able to repair the power supplies belonging to the MX series routers.
Note that the reference system is equipped with enhanced power supplies and fans as well as SCBE2 and high spec routing engine in order to run later cards such as multi-rates eg. MPC7E-MRATE. Our routing engine is the RE-S-1800X4-16G. We can also help with the repair of smaller CPE devices such as the EX3300 switch.
