Arista 100G/200G Transceiver Breakout Options using the Propel Cabling System

Arista 100G/200G transceiver breakout options
The tables below summarize the breakout options for 100G and 200G QSFP ports. In the tables below, the term “near end” transceiver refers to the transceiver / cable plugged into the QSFP port, and the “remote end” refers to the “broken out” transceiver / cable connected to the SFP port.

Product Number QSFP-100G-SR4 & QSFP-100G-XSR4
QSFP-100G-PSM4

Supported Breakout Modes 4x25G to interoperate with 25GBASE-SR. Care must be taken to use the same forward error correction (FEC) mode on both ends to link-up. 4x25G to interoperate with 25GBASE-LR. Care must be taken to use the same forward error correction (FEC) mode on both ends to link-up.
