Hi,

...

Has anyone ever managed to fit a Juniper MX10003 in a 90cm deep rack? Without applying power tools to either the rack or the router ;)

No.

In my case, MX10003 needs 13cm gap between front-door and fron-panel, and needs 10cm gap between back-door and back-panel.

You need at least 120cm depth.

... but... but the sales blurb says: "Space and Power Optimized Provides advanced power-saving features in a small form factor to help contain OpEx and ensure exceptional efficiency."

you can install 90cm depth rack if without cabling, never power-on ;)

Ah. Yes, if you never power it on, it has awesome OpEx, and exceptional efficiency... solved! W

thanks,

Hi,

here it does fit in 600x1000 racks (APC & Minkels), with everything plugged, airfilter/frontpanel installed, doors closed. Front door / front rails / rear rails / rear door: 15cm / 72cm / 12cm

I can confirm those measurements. We have installed two MX10003 routers in 100cm racks. As long as the rack posts are in the right place and the doors allow airflow you'll be fine. The 72cm between front and rear posts is what the specs say, but IIRC anything down to 63cm or so will work. Cheers, Sander
