EX8200 line of Ethernet switches offer powerful, modular
platforms that deliver the performance, scalability, and carrier-class reliability required for
today’s high-density enterprise data center access and core and campus aggregation and
core environments, as well as high-performance service provider interconnects.
today’s high-density enterprise data center access and core and campus aggregation and
core environments, as well as high-performance service provider interconnects.
EX8200 Ethernet line cards are specifically designed to optimize enterprise applications.
Each EX8200 Ethernet line card includes either two or four on-board Packet Forwarding
Engines—the EX-PFE2—that are equipped with two purpose-built, application-specific
integrated circuits (ASICs), one to perform wire-speed packet processing at line rates, and
another to perform internal deep packet queuing and buffering while providing a high-
speed interface to the chassis switch fabric. In addition, each line card contains a local
processor which provides scalable local control and status processing.

Four versions of the EX8200 Ethernet line cards are available, each of which supports
a consistent set of features and capabilities: the EX8200-48T, the EX8200-48F, the
EX8200-8XS and the EX8200-40XS.

EX8200-48T: The EX8200-48T Ethernet line card offers wire-rate 48
10/100/1000BASE-T ports with RJ-45 copper connectors. Designed for data center end-
of-row server access, or campus applications where high densities, high performance, and
high availability over copper links of up to 100 m are required, the EX8200-48T enables up
to 384 line-rate ports in a single EX8208 chassis, or 768 ports in an EX8216 chassis.

EX8200-48F: The EX8200-48F is a 48-port wire-rate 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X line
card with modular small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP) interfaces for supporting
a wide range of 100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet optical connections over multimode fiber,
single-mode fiber, or copper cabling. Designed for high-performance enterprise and
service provider distribution applications, the EX8200-48F also enables up to 384 line-
rate ports in an EX8208 chassis, and 768 ports in an EX8216 chassis.

EX8200-8XS: The EX8200-8XS is an eight-port 10GBASE-X line card with compact,
modular SFP+ fiber optic interfaces, enabling up to 64 line-rate 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports in an EX8208 chassis and 128 ports in an EX8216 chassis. The EX8200-8XS is
ideal for enterprise applications such as campus or data center uplink aggregation,
core and backbone interconnects, and for service provider deployments requiring high-
modular SFP+ fiber optic interfaces, enabling up to 64 line-rate 10-Gigabit Ethernet
ports in an EX8208 chassis and 128 ports in an EX8216 chassis. The EX8200-8XS is
