The Juniper Networks EX2300-C Ethernet Switch provides a compact, silent, power-efficient, and cost-effective switching solution for low-density branch offices, enterprise workgroups, and commercial environments.

Its fanless design enables completely silent operation, making the EX2300-C especially suitable for deployments outside traditional wiring closets, including:

• Open offices
• Retail stores
• Classrooms
• Hospitality environments
• Small branch locations
• Space-constrained enterprise workgroups

The EX2300-C is available with or without Power over Ethernet and PoE+, allowing organizations to select the appropriate configuration for their connected devices.

Cloud-Ready Access Switching

The EX2300-C is cloud-ready and supports Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP).

Through Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, organizations can onboard, configure, monitor, and manage EX2300-C switches from the cloud.

The Juniper Mist Cloud also simplifies campus fabric deployment and management, while Mist AI improves operational visibility into connected-device performance.

Features and Benefits

Juniper Mist Wired Assurance

Juniper Mist Wired Assurance allows administrators to:

• Claim switches
• Configure devices
• Monitor network performance
• Troubleshoot network issues

AI-powered automation and Service-Level Expectations help improve the experience of connected devices.

EX switches also provide rich streaming telemetry that delivers insights into:

• Switch health
• Network anomalies
• Connected-device performance

These capabilities can help streamline IT operations and reduce Mean Time to Repair across wired and wireless networks.

Virtual Chassis

The EX2300-C supports Juniper Virtual Chassis technology.

Up to:

• Three EX2300-C switches

can be interconnected with:

• One additional Virtual Chassis-compatible EX Series switch

to create a unified system of up to four switches.

The entire configuration can then be managed as a single logical device.

Virtual Chassis helps simplify:

• Network management
• Configuration
• Monitoring
• Network expansion

Fanless Design

The EX2300-C uses a completely:

• Fanless design

Because the switches do not require internal cooling fans, they operate silently.

The fanless architecture also helps:

• Reduce power consumption
• Eliminate fan-related noise
• Improve reliability by removing moving components that can fail

This makes the EX2300-C suitable for locations where acoustic noise is an important consideration.

Eight QoS Queues

Each EX2300-C switch port supports:

• 8 Quality of Service queues

These queues help prioritize different types of network traffic, including:

• Voice
• Video
• Business data
• Building automation
• Video security systems

This allows multiple applications and network services to operate across the same switching infrastructure while maintaining appropriate traffic priorities.

Compact Enterprise Switching

The EX2300-C is designed specifically for low-density enterprise and commercial access environments.

Each switch provides:

• 12 x 10/100/1000BASE-T access ports
• 2 x 10GbE uplink ports
• Fanless operation

Configurations are available both:

• With PoE/PoE+
• Without PoE

This allows the platform to support services such as:

• Unified communications
• IP telephony
• Closed Circuit Television
• Other Ethernet-connected applications

Power over Ethernet

PoE-enabled EX2300-C models support:

• IEEE 802.3af PoE
• IEEE 802.3at PoE+

PoE+ allows compatible devices to receive both network connectivity and electrical power through the Ethernet access ports.

This simplifies deployment of connected equipment by reducing the need for separate power connections.

The EX2300-C supports:

• PoE/PoE+ up to 30W per port

Energy Efficient Ethernet

The EX2300-C supports:

• Energy Efficient Ethernet

on Gigabit Ethernet access ports.

Combined with its fanless design, this helps reduce overall power consumption in small enterprise and commercial network deployments.
