The Arista DCS-7160-48YC6 delivers high-density 25 Gigabit leaf switching with enterprise-class features in a compact 1RU design. This refurbished switch combines 48 SFP28 ports with 6 QSFP28 uplinks, providing flexible connectivity for modern data centers upgrading from 10G to 25G infrastructure.
Built on Arista's proven 7160 Series platform, the DCS-7160-48YC6 provides 3.6 Tbps of non-blocking throughput with 2.4 billion packets per second forwarding capacity. The 48 SFP28 ports connect servers at 10G or 25G speeds, while 6 QSFP28 uplinks run at 40G or 100G - or break out to 24 additional 25G ports for maximum flexibility.
Perfect for organizations building leaf-spine architectures that need high server density. Connect up to 72 servers at 25G in a single rack unit when using breakout cables on the uplink ports. Arista's legendary EOS operating system provides consistent behavior across the entire network with zero-touch provisioning and CloudVision management.
Key Benefits:
- 3.6 Tbps switching capacity for demanding workloads
- 48 server ports plus 6 uplinks in single rack unit
- 2.4 Bpps forwarding handles heavy traffic loads
