NEW Arista DCS-7500R2AM-36CQ-LC 36x 100GB QSFP100 Switch Line Card

The DCS-7500R2AM-36CQ-LC is a 36-port 100GbE QSFP100 line card that adds MACsec encryption and AlgoMatch to the 7500R2 platform. It also supports accelerated sFlow. Ports run at 100G or 40G, for up to 36 of either.

MACsec uses GCM-AES-XPN with 128-bit keys supported (256-bit not yet supported), runs in 100G mode only, and does not work over DAC cables. It requires an Arista MACsec license, sold separately (LIC-MOD-1-MACSEC).

It fits the 7504R, 7508R, 7512R and 7516R (DCS-7504, DCS-7508, DCS-7504N, DCS-7508N, DCS-7512N and DCS-7516N). Arista rates it at up to 7.2 Tbps with system latency under 4 microseconds for 64-byte packets, and the card carries a 16 GB packet buffer.

Power draw is 801 W typical and 1085 W maximum. The card weighs 17.4 lb and measures 17.5 x 1.75 x 23 inches (W x H x D). It suits encrypted data center interconnects and campus cores where links between sites must be protected at line rate.

A seller refurbished DCS-7500R2AM-36CQ-LC is also available.

Line cards and fabric modules are hot-swappable in Arista modular chassis, so you can add or replace one without powering the chassis down.

This DCS-7500R2AM-36CQ-LC is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
