Arista DCS-7500E-12CM-LC 12 x Ports 100GbE SR10 MXP Expansion Module

Product Description

The Arista DCS-7500E-12CM-LC is a high-density expansion module engineered to significantly boost the networking capabilities of the Arista 7500E Series modular switches. This module provides twelve ports, each capable of operating at a blazing 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) speed. The "SR10" designation indicates that it is designed to work with specific types of optics that support ten parallel fibers for high-speed transmission over short distances, typically within a data center environment. The use of MXP connectors is a key feature, as these are compact, high-density connectors designed to accommodate multiple high-speed lanes within a smaller physical footprint. This allows for a greater number of 100GbE ports to be packed onto a single module, maximizing the port density and efficiency of the Arista chassis. This expansion module is ideal for network core, aggregation, or spine layers in large-scale data centers, cloud providers, and high-performance computing environments where massive bandwidth is required. By adding the DCS-7500E-12CM-LC to a compatible Arista 7500E chassis, network administrators can dramatically increase the switch's capacity to handle demanding traffic loads, support more connected devices, and enable faster data transfers between servers, storage, and other network segments. Its integration is seamless within the modular chassis architecture, allowing for easy upgrades and expansion of network infrastructure.
