The Arista DCS-7500R-36Q-LC is a 36-port line card module for the 7500R series modular switch chassis, delivering 40GBase-X QSFP+ connectivity across all ports. Each QSFP+ port supports 40 Gbps throughput, enabling up to 1.44 Tbps aggregate bandwidth per card. This Layer 3 managed module integrates into Arista 7500R chassis systems and provides port-level flexibility for high-density data center and enterprise core network deployments requiring substantial east-west traffic capacity.
The module operates within the 7500R ecosystem, compatible with existing chassis management and control plane infrastructure. Typical applications include service provider backbone aggregation, large-scale cloud infrastructure, and multi-tenant data center switching where consistent 40G port density and Layer 3 routing capabilities are required. Each port accommodates standard QSFP+ transceiver modules (sold separately) for connectivity to fiber or direct-attach copper.
