Arista 7368-16C 7368-16C Linecard For 7368X4 Switch, 16 Port 100G (200G Mode) QSFP

Product Description

The Arista 7368-16C is a high-performance line card specifically designed for the Arista 7368X4 modular switch chassis. This line card provides 16 ports, each supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) connectivity via QSFP28 transceivers. It is engineered to deliver extreme port density and high throughput, making it suitable for the most demanding data center and cloud networking environments where high-speed interconnectivity is paramount. In addition to standard 100GbE operation, the 7368-16C line card also supports a 200 Gigabit Ethernet mode, likely utilizing QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Double Density) transceivers, further enhancing its capability for high-bandwidth applications. This flexibility allows network architects to deploy cutting-edge connectivity solutions that can handle massive data flows, such as those found in AI/ML workloads, high-performance computing (HPC), and large-scale data analytics. As a component of the Arista 7368X4 platform, this line card benefits from Arista's advanced EOS (Extensible Operating System), which provides robust features for network automation, programmability, and visibility. The combination of high-speed ports, advanced features, and Arista's software capabilities makes the 7368-16C line card a powerful building block for next-generation data center networks that require maximum performance, scalability, and efficiency.
