Arista compatible SFP matrix by model and part number
This is EON Technology’s quick lookup reference for choosing compatible transceivers for Arista network platforms by model. It answers the specific question of which module goes in which port, at a meaningful cost advantage over the brand-name module. If you need the step-by-step explanation, see the transceiver recoding service for Arista; this table is for looking up and deciding.
Compatibility validated by model, firmware, port and optical part number.
Arista network platforms as the table axis
The matrix is organized by network equipment family, which is the navigation axis: 7010 and 7020R (1G/10G access), 7050X/7050X3 and 7060X/7060CX (10G/25G/100G aggregation), 7280R/7280R3 and 7300X (100G spine), 7500R (chassis) and 7060DX (400G). The models validated in the catalog:
| Platform | Form factors | Speeds | Typical connector |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arista 7050X3 | SFP+/SFP28/QSFP28 | 10G/25G/100G | LC, MPO/MTP |
| Arista 7280R3 | SFP+/SFP28/QSFP28 | 10G/25G/100G | LC, MPO/MTP |
| Arista 7060X4 | SFP28/QSFP28/QSFP-DD | 25G/100G/400G | LC, MPO/MTP |
| Arista 7130 | SFP+/SFP28 | 10G/25G | LC |
| Arista 7320X | SFP+/QSFP+ | 10G/40G | LC, MPO/MTP |
Form factors and speeds per port
Each port accepts a defined form factor: SFP/SFP+ (1G/10G), SFP28 (25G), QSFP+ (40G), QSFP28 (100G) and QSFP-DD or OSFP (200G/400G). Confirming the correct form factor for the model avoids ordering errors, because a QSFP28 port and a QSFP-DD port are not interchangeable.
Arista part number and recoded EON equivalent
We recode each part number for your platform. Filter by reach (100 m / 10 km / 40 km / 80 km), wavelength (850 / 1310 / 1550 nm) and connector (LC, MPO/MTP, RJ45):
| Arista part number | Optics | Reach | Connector | EON equivalent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SFP-10G-SR | 850 nm MMF | 300 m | LC | Recoded SFP+ module |
| SFP-10G-LR | 1310 nm SMF | 10 km | LC | Recoded SFP+ module |
| SFP-10G-ZR | 1550 nm SMF | 80 km | LC | Recoded SFP+ module |
| SFP-1G-T | Copper | 100 m | RJ45 | Recoded SFP module |
| QSFP-40G-SR4 | 850 nm MMF | 150 m | MPO/MTP | Recoded QSFP+ module |
| QSFP-100G-SR4 | 850 nm MMF | 100 m | MPO/MTP | Recoded QSFP28 module |
| QSFP-100G-LR4 | 1310 nm SMF | 10 km | LC | Recoded QSFP28 module |
DAC and AOC cables versus optics
Besides optical transceivers, we cover equivalent multivendor DAC and AOC cables (for example the CAB-Q-Q-100G) and breakout configurations: 100G to 4x25G and 40G to 4x10G. These are the short-reach links that longer guides barely mention, and we adapt and validate them by model and port as well.
Technical note: Arista EOS firmware and transceiver recoding
On Arista EOS, third-party modules may require enabling the service unsupported-transceiver command; our part numbers deliver correct DOM/DDM readings for optical monitoring. We adapt and validate compatibility for each part number following the manufacturer’s support policy and its TAC team.
What to check before ordering
Before requesting a quote, have four data points at hand: the exact model of the platform, the firmware/OS release, the port type and the target optical part number. With that information we confirm the correct equivalent. EON serves Latin America and Spain from a centralized operation in Colombia. Typical dispatch in 48h*. The product carries a 1- to 5-year product warranty depending on the part number.
