48-port 10GBASE-T switch

The Arista 7050TX-64 is a Layer 3 switch built for data centre leaf and spine deployments. It provides 48 auto-negotiating RJ45 ports that operate at 100Mb, 1Gb or 10Gb speeds over twisted pair cabling. Four QSFP+ expansion slots add 40GbE uplink capacity for high-throughput east-west traffic.

Suits twisted-pair 10GbE clusters

Network teams migrating existing copper infrastructure to 10GbE will benefit from the backwards-compatible RJ45 ports. The desktop form factor fits standard racks without specialised cooling ducts. Buyers who need fibre-only 10GbE connectivity or higher port density in a single unit should evaluate other platforms.

Four 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks

The four 40GbE expansion slots determine the aggregate uplink bandwidth available to the spine layer. Each slot accepts a QSFP+ transceiver or direct-attach cable for 40GbE links. Confirm that your spine switches provide matching 40GbE ports before committing to this model.
