Arista 7500R 48-port SFP+ line card

The Arista DCS-7500R-48S2CQ-LC is a line card for the 7500R modular chassis. It provides 48 SFP+ ports operating at 1 or 10 GbE and two QSFP28 ports at 100 GbE. The card is designed for high-density aggregation in data centre networks.

Suits 7500R chassis builds needing mixed 10G

Network engineers expanding a 7500R fabric with this exact port mix will find it a direct fit. It is not for operators who require hot-swappable line cards, as the module must be installed with the chassis powered down. Buyers needing different port counts or form factors should evaluate other modules.

Verify chassis slot availability

Confirm the target 7500R chassis has a free line-card slot and is running a firmware release that supports this part number. The card is validated for the CAT-29489 chassis variant, so cross-check the chassis label before ordering. Ensure spare SFP+ and QSFP28 transceivers match the intended link distances.
