The Juniper MIC-3D-4XGE-XFP is a high-performance Modular Interface Card (MIC) designed for Juniper MX Series routers. It provides four 10 Gigabit Ethernet XFP interfaces and is used to expand port density on MX chassis via MPC (Modular Port Concentrator) line cards. The module supports carrier-grade Ethernet services and is widely deployed in service provider, enterprise core, and aggregation networks. It requires separate XFP optical transceivers for operation and is compatible with specific MPC generations.
