Arista DCS-7050T-64-R 7050 48x RJ45 10GBT 4x QSFP+ Gigabit Switch

Product Description

The Arista DCS-7050T-64-R is a high-density, low-latency 1RU switch purpose-built for modern data center environments, particularly as a Top-of-Rack (ToR) solution. It offers 48 ports of 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper RJ45), providing widespread connectivity for servers and other rack-mounted equipment that utilize standard copper cabling. This makes it an excellent choice for environments transitioning to higher speeds or consolidating existing 1GbE infrastructure while preparing for 10GbE adoption. Complementing the extensive copper ports are four 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ uplink ports. These high-bandwidth interfaces are designed to connect the switch to the data center's aggregation or core layer, ensuring that traffic from the 48 connected devices can be efficiently aggregated and transported without becoming a bottleneck. The switch boasts a substantial switching capacity of 1.28 Terabits per second (Tbps) and a forwarding rate of 960 million packets per second (Mpps), enabling it to handle demanding workloads with ease. Arista is renowned for its low-latency switching platforms, and the DCS-7050T-64-R is no exception, offering latency as low as sub-microsecond. This is critical for high-frequency trading, high-performance computing (HPC), and other latency-sensitive applications. The switch supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, allowing for flexible network designs, including advanced routing capabilities. It typically features redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules for high availability and serviceability, ensuring continuous operation in mission-critical data center settings.
