e7-2 e7 is the platform, the -2 is how many cards it holds. It's a 1U box. There's also the e7-20 which is a big like 8u or something.
e7 holds cards. The cards are AE ports (like 12 or 16?) or GPON4/GPON8 which hold 4/8 GPON plugs (look like SFP but I don't think they're technically SFP). They also have SFP+ and QSFP to talk to the rest of the network, like your upstream 10G internet pipe.
