Arista Networks provides high-performance network switches for data centers, featuring cutting-edge hardware reaching speeds of up to 100G Ethernet. With speeds this fast, it is important to meet optical loss budgets and be able to manage your cabling in such a high-density environment.
How do you do that? By implementing the Skinny-Trunk® Solution to cable up your Arista hardware, that’s how.
Arista switches provide high performance - up to 100G Ethernet. The maximum optical loss budget for this speed is 1.9dB over OM3 fiber. This puts mere “standards-based” products out of reach for a structured cabling solution.
The Skinny-Trunk Solution exceeds the standards when it comes to dB loss, so you can have a structured cabling system that meets the loss budgets required for these speeds. This also increases the return on investment of the product, ensuring it will last longer in your infrastructure
Designed to last through multiple generations of hardware, the Skinny-Trunk Solution provides a scalable, modular framework that allows you to upgrade without replacing your cabling infrastructure. You can be ready to expand to meet your business needs with a well-designed structured cabling system featuring the Skinny-Trunk Solution.
The CABLExpress Skinny-Trunk Solution delivers on performance, design, repeatability and manageability. Call us to find out how the Skinny-Trunk Solution will make your Arista switches perform the way they’re meant to.
The purpose of this connectivity guide is to offer clear options in cabling the Arista 7500E, 7500R, 7300X and 7320X Series modular switches. Ensuring these switches are cabled to run optimally in your enterprise network requires specific light paths and performance levels for connectivity.
You choose Arista switches for their incredibly high performance.
But it's imperative that your cabling enables that performance.
This technical brief demonstrates different ways to cable up the new 100G and 400G line card ports in the Arista 7800R3 chassis.
