Juniper EX 2300-C Compact Fanless EX2300-C-12P 12-port

Description

Juniper EX2300-C-12P Compact Fanless Ethernet Switch – 12-Port PoE+ with 10/100/1000BASE-T & 1/10GbE Uplinks

Overview

The Juniper EX2300-C-12P is a compact, fanless Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet switch designed for small to medium-sized enterprises, branch offices, and edge deployments. It combines high-performance switching, PoE+ capabilities, and flexible uplink options in a silent, energy-efficient form factor. With support for Virtual Chassis technology, it can scale by linking up to four switches as a single logical device, simplifying management and expanding network capacity.
