NEW Arista DCS-7160-48TC6-F 48x 10GB Copper 6x 100GB QSFP F-B Air Switch

For racks of servers with 10GBASE-T onboard, the 7160-48TC6 offers 48 RJ-45 ports at 1G or 10G and six QSFP uplinks at 40G or 100G in a 1RU chassis. Servers connect over standard copper cabling while the uplinks reach the spine at 100G.

Arista rates it at 2.16 Tbps and 2.4 Bpps, with latency from 3 microseconds and a 24 MB fully shared packet buffer. The control plane runs a quad-core x86 CPU with 8 GB RAM and 4 GB flash. Power draw is 408W typical and 482W maximum.

Two AC power supplies are installed in a 1+1 redundant, hot-swap pair, using C13-C14 cords. Spares are PWR-500AC-F and PWR-500-DC-F for DC. Four hot-swap FAN-7000H-F fans in N+1 move air front-to-back (port-side intake). A back-to-front version is also available, so keep fans and supplies matched to the rack.

Management uses a 100/1000 RJ-45 port, an RJ-45 RS-232 console and two USB ports. The switch weighs 20.42 lb. Advanced Layer 3 features such as BGP and OSPF need an Arista Enhanced L3 license, which is not included and is available from Arista partners.

Arista also sells the DCS-7160-48TC6-R with the opposite airflow. A seller refurbished DCS-7160-48TC6-F is also available. Matching spares include the PWR-500AC-F power supply and the FAN-7000H-F fan module.

This DCS-7160-48TC6-F is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
