Juniper @ OFC'25: Live 100G, 400G and 800G Client and Coherent Solutions


Juniper at OFC'25: Live 100G, 400G, and 800G Client and Coherent Solutions
At OFC’25, Juniper showcased a comprehensive portfolio of client and coherent networking solutions designed to meet the diverse needs of WAN and data center architectures. Our innovations took center stage in multi-vendor interoperability demonstrations in both the OIF and Ethernet Alliance (EA) booths, highlighting Juniper’s commitment to high-performance and seamless (standards-based) integration.
Explore live demos that reveal the potential of 100G, 400G, and 800G networking in the AI era.

0:00 another year another OFC with Juniper
0:02 Networks where we're showcasing cutting
0:04 edge innovations in networking silicon
0:06 high-end routing and switching platforms
0:08 and pluggable optics technologies let's
0:10 take a look at what we're showing on the
0:11 show floor here at the OIF booth we have
0:14 three very distinct platforms we have
0:16 the Juniper ACX7024 Cloud Metro router
0:19 the PTX
0:21 10236QDD core peering DCI router and the
0:25 QFX 5240 spine super spine and leaf
0:28 switch the ACX is hosting QSFP28 100 gig
0:32 ZR coherent optics the PTX is hosting
0:35 400 gig ZR and open ZR plus ZBM coherent
0:38 optics and the QFX is hosting brand new
0:41 800 gig ZR and 800 gig ZR plus with open
0:44 ROM PCS coherent optics all three
0:47 generations of coherent optics are going
0:49 over 300 kilometers of fiber over
0:52 multiple different open line systems
0:53 showcasing lineside interoperability
0:56 between multiple vendors which is made
0:58 possible thanks to standards like those
1:00 put out by the OIF now let's take a look
1:02 at what we're doing in other parts of
1:04 the show another area of focus for the
1:06 OIF is Seamus or the common management
1:09 interface specification which
1:10 standardizes a hostto module interface
1:13 seamus has become a foundational
1:14 building block for system vendors like
1:16 Juniper to develop robust networking
1:18 operating systems capable of hosting any
1:20 transceiver in a plug-and-play fashion
1:22 here you can see we have the QFX 5240
1:25 again hosting a wide array of pluggables
1:27 from cables to client interfaces to
1:29 coherent DWDM interfaces seamlessly
1:32 thanks to the standards work done in
1:34 Seamus now let's see what's going on in
1:36 the EI demo so EI stands for the energy
1:39 efficient interface uh efforts at OF
1:43 Juniper with the 51.2 terra switch 5240
1:47 OD we are participating as a host
1:48 platform here this entire demo
1:50 encompasses the multi- vendor
1:52 interoperability using the LPOS and the
1:55 RTLRS we are showcasing the prefect BERS
1:58 here which are quality BERS and we are
2:01 also interoperating with the multi-
2:03 vendor sis here using the LPOS's and the
2:05 RTLRS which are emulating as Ethernet
2:08 devices with this efforts we are
2:10 contributing to the energy efficient
2:12 interfaces at the OIS
2:14 now we're here at the Ethernet alliance
2:16 also known as the voice of Ethernet in
2:18 the industry where every year Juniper
2:19 brings a whole array of routing and
2:21 switching platforms to demonstrate the
2:23 value of Ethernet standards you'll find
2:25 that our routers and switches are
2:27 hosting interfaces from 10 gig all the
2:29 way through 800 gig with an assortment
2:31 of different interconnect types dac AOC
2:34 cables DSPbased optics linear pluggable
2:37 optics all interoperating with a multi-
2:39 vendor ecosystem thanks to Ethernet
2:41 standards like those promoted by the
2:43 Ethernet alliance
