NEW Arista DCS-7300X-64S-LC 48x 10GB SFP+ 4x 40GB QSFP+ Switch Line Card

The DCS-7300X-64S-LC combines 48 SFP+ ports and four 40GbE QSFP+ ports on one line card. The SFP+ ports run at 1GbE or 10GbE, and the QSFP+ ports can each break out into four 10GbE links, giving a maximum of 64 10GbE interfaces per card.

It fits the 7304X, 7308X and 7316X chassis (DCS-7304, DCS-7308 and DCS-7316) and requires Fabric-X modules to run. Mixing this card with 40G line cards in one chassis is a common way to serve both access aggregation and uplinks from a single platform.

Arista gives platform figures of up to 2.56 Tbps per line card and latency below 2 microseconds. The card itself forwards up to 960 million packets per second and has a 12 MB packet buffer.

Power draw is 166 W typical and 232 W maximum, or under 3 W per 10G port, which keeps it among the lighter cards in the family. It weighs 9.6 lb and measures 11.83 x 17.11 x 1.73 inches (W x H x D).

A seller refurbished DCS-7300X-64S-LC is also available.

Line cards and fabric modules are hot-swappable in Arista modular chassis, so you can add or replace one without powering the chassis down.

This DCS-7300X-64S-LC is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
