It depends on the type of 100G transceivers you are referring to. Arista supports a full range of 100G copper cables and optical transceivers compliant to IEEE standards and industry MSAs.  Arista’s 100G transceivers are compatible with QSFP28 form factor and can interoperate with existing third-party switches and routers in the network. However, some 100G transceivers use different optical modulation schemes that may not be compatible with each other. For example, the 100G-DR / FR / LR modules will not interoperate with legacy 100G modules (such as CWDM4, LR4, etc), but they will interop with 400G-DR4 and 400G-XDR4. As long as the non-Arista 100G transceivers meet the associated industry standard specifications, Arista 100G transceivers are fully interoperable.
