Arista DCS-7130-96LBAS-R | 7130 96-Port 10G SFP+ FPGA Switch with Atomic Clock

Q: What applications is the DCS-7130-96LBAS-R designed for?
A: This switch is optimized for ultra-low latency network applications including high-frequency trading, precision timestamping, tap aggregation, network monitoring, and FPGA-based custom application deployment. The integrated atomic clock enables sub-nanosecond timestamp accuracy for demanding financial and analytics environments.

Q: Does this model include power supplies and fans?
A: No, the DCS-7130-96LBAS-R requires separate PSU and fan kits sold separately. Compatible power supplies include the PWR-747-AC (100-240V AC, 747W) or PWR-1900-DC (DC power option) for the 96-port LS series models.

Q: What is the difference between 96LBAS and 96LBS models?
A: The 96LBAS includes an integrated atomic clock for enhanced timing precision and sub-nanosecond timestamping accuracy, while the 96LBS model uses standard oscillators. Both feature the same VU9P-3 FPGA, 96 SFP+ ports, and support for Arista network applications.

Q: Can I develop custom FPGA applications on this platform?
A: Yes, the 7130 Series supports custom FPGA development using Arista development toolkits and IP cores. The platform follows the LB development standard and provides complete access to the Xilinx UltraScale+ VU9P FPGA resources, allowing deployment of both Arista and third-party network applications.

Q: What transceivers are compatible with the SFP+ ports?
A: The 96 SFP+ ports support industry-standard 100BASE, 1000BASE, and 10GBASE transceivers including SR, LR, ER, and direct attach copper (DAC) options. Each port operates at speeds from 100Mbps up to 11.3Gbps depending on transceiver and application configuration.
