DCS-7500E-6C2-LC
The 6 x 100G CFP2 line card provides high performance 100G using industry standard CFP2 optics
that are hot pluggable. The CFP2 form factor is designed to allow for long haul optics with a size that
is approximately 50% smaller than the CFP optic. As a result CFP2 based line cards allow for up to 6
ports per line card, which increases overall system density. The CFP2 form factor allows 100GbE optics
to be installed and with the use of 10x10 and 2x40 mode a choice of 10/40/100GbE.
DCS-7500E-12CQ-LC
The 12 x 100G QSFP100 line card 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-7500E-48T-LC
The 48 port RJ45 10GBASE-T wire-speed line card has 48 ports of RJ45 ports that supports 10Gb
speeds.
