Juniper ACX Series Routers - Refurbished, Used, New
The Juniper ACX family includes access and aggregation routers, alongside optical transport platforms. The routers run Junos and are used in metro Ethernet, mobile backhaul and service provider access networks: the ACX500, ACX1000, ACX1100, ACX2100 and ACX2200 access routers and the ACX5048 and ACX5448 aggregation routers. The optical platforms, the ACX6160 transponder and the ACX6360, have coherent CFP2-DCO ports. NetworkTigers sells them refurbished, used and new, in AC and DC versions. Every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which ACX router do I need?
Choose by role: the ACX500 to ACX2200 suit cell sites and customer access, the ACX5048 and ACX5448 suit aggregation, the ACX6160 is an optical transponder rather than a router, and the ACX6360 comes in optical router (-OR) and optical transport (-OX) configurations, so match the exact configuration, the line rates your optical design needs and how the unit will be managed. Then check the ports you need, including T1/E1 on the ACX1000 and the combo copper or fiber ports on smaller models. Check whether the router is AC or DC powered, since many ACX models are ordered for DC telecom sites, and check the airflow stated in the listing where it applies. Check that the timing features and Junos release you plan to run are supported on the exact model.
