Product Description
The Arista DCS-7500E-36Q-LC is a powerful line card engineered to deliver exceptional 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity within the Arista 7500E modular switch platform. This line card is specifically designed to meet the stringent demands of modern data centers, cloud environments, and high-performance campus networks that require high-density, high-bandwidth interconnectivity. With 36 QSFP+ ports, it offers a substantial capacity for connecting servers, storage devices, and other network segments at blazing-fast 40 Gbps speeds. This line card is built for wire-speed performance, meaning it can process and forward traffic at the maximum theoretical rate for all ports simultaneously without introducing latency or packet loss. This capability is critical for applications that are sensitive to delay, such as high-frequency trading, real-time analytics, and large-scale data transfers. The QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface supports 40GbE connections, which can also be broken out into 4x10GbE connections using appropriate optics and cabling, providing flexibility in network design and deployment. The DCS-7500E-36Q-LC is an integral part of the Arista 7500E chassis, allowing organizations to scale their network infrastructure by adding or replacing line cards as needed. Its high port density and performance make it suitable for use in network aggregation layers, core networks, and spine-leaf architectures where efficient and reliable data transport is essential. The 'LC' designation typically refers to the connector type used for the QSFP+ transceivers, indicating compatibility with standard LC fiber optic connectors.
