L1 Switches
An L1 switch, also known as a Layer 1 or physical layer switch, acts like an electronic, programmable patch panel. It establishes the physical connection between devices by forwarding electrical signals (bits) without inspecting or manipulating the data being transmitted. These switches are completely transparent to the data and are often used in testing environments to create accurate, low-latency connections.
Key Characteristics:
Physical Layer Operation:
L1 switches operate at the lowest level of the OSI model, the physical layer.
Transparent to Data:
They do not examine or modify the data packets being transmitted. They simply forward the electrical signals.
Low Latency:
Due to their simple operation, L1 switches offer very low latency, making them suitable for applications where minimal delay is crucial.
Replicates Signals:
L1 switches can regenerate signals to remove noise and ensure a clean transmission, a process called clock and data recovery (CDR) or retiming.
Programmable Connections:
These switches allow connections between ports to be established and configured using software commands, facilitating automation and remote management.
Common Uses:
Testing and Validation:
L1 switches are frequently used in test environments to simulate various network topologies and configurations, allowing for accurate and controlled testing.
Signal Regeneration:
They can be used to extend the reach of network connections by regenerating signals and mitigating signal degradation.
Simple Connectivity:
In some cases, L1 switches are used to provide basic connectivity between devices when more advanced switching functions are not needed.

With up to 96 front panel connections using a combination of SFP+ and high density, eight-lane QSFP-DD connectors, a single 7130LBR can replace multiple individual layer 1, FPGA and L2/3 devices and dramatically reduce cable count and complexity.
Co-location of layer 1, FPGA, switching and x86 allows applications to take advantage of the individual strengths of each processing element to maximize the efficiency of programmable resources and avoid the latency penalty of offloading traffic to an external device.
The two Xilinx VU9P-3 FPGAs support the existing Arista LB development standard and are optimized for Arista’s network applications. Two applications can be run in parallel and the FPGAs can run 3rd party partner applications or in-house developed performance critical apps.
On top of the market-leading FPGA functionality, the devices combine a multitude of Layer 1-3 network functionality including:
• Signal regeneration
• Port mirroring
• Dynamic patching/link management
• Ad-hoc tapping without rewiring
• Layer 1+ statistics on every link
• Media conversion
• Telemetry
• R Series switching and routing stack
• DANZ tap aggregation
