Linecards
This section displays the linecards supported by modular switches covered by this guide.
DCS-7500E-36Q-LC
The 36-port QSFP+ linecard has 36 QSFP+ ports, allowing for a high degree of flexibility in a mixed 10G/40G network. All QSFP+ ports can operate as either a single 40Gb Ethernet port or quad 10Gb Ethernet ports with up to 36 port of 40G or 144 ports of high-density 10G.

DCS-7500E-72S-LC
The 48-SFP+ and 2-port 100GbE MXP linecard provides a flexible combination of 48 ports of SFP+ and 2 MPO ports for up to 72 10Gb Ethernet ports. The two 100G MTP/MPO ports provide 100G capability using Arista Multi-speed Ports (MXP) with integrated optics. MXP ports use 100GBASE-SR10 (Short Range) transceivers and are fully compatible with any standards-compliant 100GBASE-SR10 ports. Each MXP port can be easily configured as a single 100Gb, triple 40Gb, or twelve 10Gb Ethernet.

DCS-7500E-12CM-LC
The 12 x 100G MTP/MPO linecard provides high-density 100G using Arista Multi-speed Ports (MXP) with embedded optics. The MXP ports use 100GBASE-SR10 (Short Range) transceivers and are fully compatible with any standards-compliant 100GBASE-SR10 ports. Each MXP port can be enabled in single 100Gb, triple 40Gb, or twelve 10Gb Ethernet modes for up to 12 – 100Gb, 36 – 40Gb, and 144 – 10Gb Ethernet ports per linecard. Since each MXP port comes with integrated optics, no external transceivers are required for this linecard.

DCS-7500E-6C2-LC
The 6 x 100G CFP2 linecard provides high-performance 100G using industry-standard CFP2 optics that are hot pluggable. The CFP2 form factor design allows long-haul optics that are approximately 50% smaller than the CFP optic. As a result, the CFP2-based linecards allow for up to 6 ports per linecard, which increases overall system density. The CFP2 form factor allows 100GbE optics to be installed using 10x10 and 2x40 modes with a choice of 10/40/100GbE.

DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC
The 12 x 100G QSFP100 linecard provides high-density 100G using industry-standard QSFP100 optics. The QSFP100 form factor is identical to the size of the 40G QSFP+, allowing for either 40GbE or 100GbE optics to be installed for a dual speed choice of 40/100GbE on all ports. With 12 ports of 100GbE, the card allows each port to operate in a choice of 4 x 10GbE (using 40GbE optics), 40GbE, or 100GbE.

DCS-7500R-36CQ-LC
The 36-port QSFP100 linecard allows for high flexibility in a mixed 10G/40G/100G environment. All 36 ports can operate as a single 100Gb or 40Gb Ethernet port. A wide range of additional interface speed flexibility is possible, with all ports supporting 4 x 10G Ethernet, 4 x 25G Ethernet, or 2 x 50G Ethernet. This flexibility allows for a choice of 5 speeds on all ports, simple migration from 10G to 100G, and a wide range of combination

DCS-7500R-36Q-LC
The 36-port QSFP+ linecard allows for a wide range of flexibility in a mixed 10G/40G environment. All QSFP+ ports can operate as either a single 40Gb Ethernet port. Additional interface flexibility is possible, with up to 24 ports supporting 4x10G mode and 6 ports of 1x100G mode. These interface speed choices allow for simple migration from 10G to 100G and various possible combinations.
