EX2300-C-12T, Juniper 12-Port Fanless Gigabit Switch with 2 × 1/10GbE SFP+ Uplinks

The EX2300-C-12T is a compact, fanless Ethernet switch for low-density branch, retail, office, classroom, and hospitality networks. It combines 12 × 10/100/1000BASE-T access ports with two 1/10GbE SFP+ uplink ports and a fixed internal AC power supply for quiet, space-constrained deployments.

Figure 1 shows the front-panel port layout of the Juniper EX2300-C-12T.

The official Juniper EX2300-C front-panel diagram for the non-PoE model identifies the 12 RJ-45 network ports, USB Type-A port, management Ethernet port, status LEDs, Factory Reset/Mode button, Mini-USB and RJ-45 console ports, two 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, and ESD point.

Figure 2 shows the rear-panel layout of the Juniper EX2300-C-12T.

The official Juniper EX2300-C rear-panel diagram for the non-PoE model shows the CLEI code label, serial number ID label, protective earthing terminal, and AC power cord inlet.

Best Fit Applications

Branch and Small Office Access

Connect low-density wired devices in branch and small-office environments with 12 Gigabit Ethernet access ports, two 1/10GbE uplinks, and silent fanless operation.

Retail and Hospitality Networks

Deploy compact, low-noise wired access switching in retail, hospitality, and service locations where space and operating noise are important considerations.

Fiber-Uplink Workgroup and Classroom Networks

Use the two 1/10GbE SFP+ uplinks to connect the access switch to aggregation, distribution, or higher-speed network infrastructure.

Why EX2300-C-12T

Silent Fanless Operation

The fanless design produces 0 dB of operating noise, making the switch suitable for offices, classrooms, retail counters, and other noise-sensitive locations.

Compact Access Switching with 10GbE Uplinks

The compact 1U chassis combines 12 Gigabit access ports with two 1/10GbE SFP+ uplinks, providing a practical balance of local port density and upstream bandwidth.
