T1600 Routing Node Upgrade Guide

NOTE: If you plan to operate a maximally configured T1600 routing node, we recommend that you provision at least 64 A @ –48 VDC for each power supply input in the system. Although Input 0 requires less power, we recommend provisioning the same amount of power for each input to avoid the possibility of connecting the lower-powered DC cable to Input 1 or Input 2.

Use a facility circuit breaker rated for 80 A (–48 VDC) minimum for each power supply input. Doing so enables you to operate the T1600 routing node in any configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure. You must provision a circuit breaker for each DC power supply input rated for at least 125% of the continuous current that the system draws at –48 VDC.

DC Power Cable Specifications

Table 8 on page 46 summarizes the specifications for the DC power cables, which you supply. For two of the inputs on each power supply, use the DC power cables and lugs that were connected to the two-input 160-A power supply. Four additional DC power cables are required. The accessory box shipped with the T1600 upgrade kit includes four cable lugs that attach to the terminal studs of the additional third input on each three-input 240-A power supply (see Figure 25 on page 46).

T1600 specifications

Juniper Networks T1600 is a robust, high-performance router designed for service provider and large enterprise networks. As part of Juniper's T series of routers, the T1600 is engineered to facilitate efficient and scalable network operations, making it ideal for environments requiring intensive data traffic management.

One of the T1600's standout features is its capacity to deliver a high level of performance while maintaining reliability. The router supports multiple interfaces, including Ethernet, MPLS, and IPv4/IPv6, allowing for flexible connectivity options tailored to a variety of deployment scenarios. With a forwarding capacity of up to 3.2 terabits per second, the T1600 ensures that network demands are met with ease, even during peak usage.

The T1600 is equipped with advanced technologies that enhance its operational capabilities. Its architecture is built on Juniper's proprietary Junos operating system, which provides a stable and secure platform for managing the various networking protocols. The software enables seamless integration of security, routing, and switching functionalities, reducing the complexity of network management.

Additionally, the router features IPv6 readiness, preparing networks for the next generation of internet traffic. This future-proofing addresses the inevitable exhaustion of IPv4 addresses and caters to the increasing demand for internet-connected devices globally.

Redundancy and fault tolerance are intrinsic to the T1600's design, ensuring continuous operation and minimal downtime. Its modular architecture allows for easy upgrades and replacement of components, facilitating maintenance without significantly impacting network performance.

The T1600 also supports advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, enabling network administrators to prioritize traffic according to business needs. This capability is crucial for applications that require consistent performance, such as VoIP and video conferencing, where latency and jitter can severely impact user experience.

Scalability is another critical characteristic of the T1600. As network demands grow, organizations can add capacity incrementally, ensuring that infrastructure investments align with evolving requirements.

In summary, Juniper Networks T1600 is a high-capacity, reliable router featuring advanced routing capabilities, robust security, and exceptional redundancy. Its integration of cutting-edge technologies positions it as a powerful solution for enterprises and service providers striving to enhance their networking infrastructure for the future.
