Line Cards
This appendix displays the line cards supported by modular switches covered by this guide.
DCS-7500E-36Q-LC
The 36 port QSFP+ line card has 36 QSFP+ ports that allow 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 ports of 40G or 144 ports of high-density 10G.
DCS-7500E-72S-LC
The 48 SFP+ and 2 port 100GbE MXP line card 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.
