NEW Arista DCS-7160-48YC6-F 48x 25GB SFP+ 6x 100GB QSFP Front-to-Back Air Switch

The 7160-48YC6 is a 1RU leaf switch with 48 SFP ports that run at 1, 10 or 25G and six QSFP uplinks at 40G or 100G. A 24 MB fully shared packet buffer helps absorb bursts from 25G servers and storage.

Arista rates it at 3.6 Tbps and 2.4 Bpps, with latency from 2 microseconds. Power draw is 168W typical and 382W maximum. The control plane runs a quad-core x86 CPU with 8 GB RAM and 4 GB flash.

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-7000-F fans in N+1 move air front-to-back (port-side intake). Arista also sells the back-to-front version, so match every fan and supply to the airflow in your rack.

Management uses a 100/1000 RJ-45 port, an RJ-45 RS-232 console and two USB ports. The switch weighs 19.24 lb and measures 19 x 16 x 1.75 in. 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-7160-48YC6-R with the opposite airflow. A seller refurbished DCS-7160-48YC6-F is also available. Matching spares include the PWR-500AC-F power supply and the FAN-7000-F fan module.

This DCS-7160-48YC6-F is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
