Description

The NIM-1QC is a single-port 100GbE QSFP28 network interface module for the Arista AWE-7200R Series of Enterprise WAN routers. It adds high-speed connectivity to a router without replacing the chassis, which suits aggregation, WAN edge, transit hub and cloud edge sites that need a 100G uplink.

The module provides 1x 100GbE QSFP28 port in an OCP 3.0 compliant Short Form Factor (SFF) design, and it is hot-swappable so it can be installed or replaced without taking the chassis offline. It is powered from the host router through the NIM slot, so no separate power supply is needed. The card is managed through Arista EOS, consistent with Arista switching and routing platforms.

The NIM-1QC fits the NIM slots of the AWE-7230R-4TX-4S-F (2 slots) and the AWE-7250R-16S-F (4 slots), and is also listed as supported on the AWE-5310-F and AWE-5510-F. The QSFP28 port accepts 100G transceivers, DACs and AOCs. It is the 100G counterpart of the NIM-4S card, which provides 4x SFP+ 10/1GbE ports.
