NEW Arista HPE DCS-7260CX-64-R JH800A 64x 100GB QSFP100 2x 10GB SFP+ B-F Switch

The 7260CX-64 is a 2RU 100G spine switch with 64 QSFP100 ports that run at 40G or 100G, plus two 10G SFP+ ports. Breakout cables can turn the QSFP100 ports into as many as 256 25G or 256 10G interfaces.

Arista rates it at 12.8 Tbps and 9.52 Bpps, with latency of 550 to 1500 nanoseconds and a 64 MB packet buffer using Dynamic Buffer Allocation. The control plane runs a dual-core i7 x86 CPU with 8 GB RAM and 4 GB flash.

Two 1900W AC power supplies are installed in a 1+1 redundant, hot-swap pair. They use C19-C20 cords, so plan PDU outlets to match. Spares are PWR-1900AC-R and PWR-1900-DC-R for DC. Four hot-swap FAN-7002H-R fans in N+1 move air back-to-front (port-side exhaust). A front-to-back version is also sold, so match the rack's airflow.

Arista lists power draw at 1672W typical and 2090W maximum. Management is through a 100/1000 RJ-45 port, an RJ-45 RS-232 console and USB. The chassis weighs 44.1 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-7260CX-64-F with the opposite airflow. A seller refurbished DCS-7260CX-64-R is also available. Matching spares include the PWR-1900AC-R power supply and the FAN-7002H-R fan module.

This DCS-7260CX-64-R is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
