Compact Power & Performance: Gigabit PoE+ Access with 10 GbE Flexibility — Juniper EX2300-C-12P-2G

The Juniper EX2300-C-12P-2G is a compact, silent, and powerful managed Ethernet switch that delivers reliable Gigabit connectivity with PoE/PoE+ across 12 access ports and two high-speed 10 GbE SFP+ uplinks. Designed for enterprise branch offices, SMB networks, and space-constrained environments, it runs on Juniper’s industry-standard Junos OS, offering rich Layer 2 features with basic Layer 3 capabilities, advanced security, VLANs, QoS, and flexible management via CLI, SNMP, or web GUI. With Virtual Chassis support and a generous 124 W PoE budget, this switch seamlessly powers IP phones, wireless access points, and cameras while simplifying deployment and expansion.
