Arista 7260X Hyperscale Leaf Switch - Refurbished, Used, and New

Best Selling

Arista 7260X switches are dense 100G and 40G leaf and spine switches for cloud and enterprise data centers, running Arista EOS. Each model packs 64 QSFP ports plus two SFP+ management or uplink ports into a fixed chassis, which makes them a common choice for spine layers and for high-density leaf tiers where every port needs to run at 40G or 100G. The 7260CX3-64 and 7260CX-64 are the 100G QSFP28 models, and the 7260QX-64 is the 40G QSFP+ model; some units are HPE-branded with a JH part number. NetworkTigers sells 7260X switches, power supplies and fan modules refurbished, used and new. Every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which 7260X do I need?

Start with port speed. The 7260QX-64 gives you 64 ports of 40G QSFP+, which suits a spine that still aggregates 40G leaf uplinks. The 7260CX-64 and 7260CX3-64 give you 64 ports of 100G QSFP28, and each port can also run 40G with a QSFP+ optic or break out to lower speeds with a breakout cable, so one chassis can carry mixed 10G, 25G, 40G and 100G links. The CX3 is the newer 100G design and is the one to choose for a fresh build; the CX is a lower-cost way to add 100G capacity to an existing fabric. Then match airflow to your rack: -F units pull air in at the port side and exhaust at the power supply side, -R units do the reverse. Fans and power supplies are color coded red (front-to-back) and blue (back-to-front), and every fan and power supply in a chassis must match the chassis airflow direction. Tell us which EOS release you run and we will confirm the unit ships with a compatible image.

Frequently asked questions

Are the HPE JH-numbered switches the same hardware as the Arista DCS part numbers?
Yes. HPE resold the 7260CX-64 and 7260QX-64 under its own part numbers (JH799A, JH800A, JH801A, JH802A). The chassis, ports and operating system are Arista; only the label and the part number differ.

Can I mix AC and DC power supplies in one 7260X?
Each chassis has two power supply bays and the supplies are hot swappable. Keep both supplies the same wattage and airflow direction. If you need DC feed, the PWR-1900-DC-R fits the 7260CX and 7260CX3 in back-to-front airflow; ask us before mixing AC and DC in the same chassis.

Do the 7260X switches ship with optics?
No. Optics and breakout cables are sold separately so you can choose the reach and connector you need. Listings state what is included, and we can quote 40G and 100G optics and DAC cables with the switch.
