Arista Networks, Inc. DCS-7050TX-48-R 48-port 1/10GbE Base-T 4x40GbE QSFP+ network switch

48-Port 1/10GbE Base-T Switch with 40GbE Uplinks

The Arista DCS-7050TX-48-R is a 1 RU network switch that provides 48 copper ports operating at 1 or 10 Gbps. Four QSFP+ uplink ports deliver 40 GbE connectivity for aggregation or core links. Two 500 W hot-swappable AC power supplies and four hot-swappable fans use rear-to-front airflow. The included KIT-7001 rack mounts simplify installation.

Suited for copper-heavy access layers.

Network teams that need dense 10 GbE Base-T connections to servers or desktop endpoints will match the 48 RJ-45 ports. The 40 GbE QSFP+ uplinks serve spine or aggregation tiers. Buyers who require fibre SFP+ downlinks or a higher uplink count should evaluate other platforms. The rear-to-front airflow design fits specific rack cooling layouts.

48 copper ports and four 40 GbE QSFP+ uplinks

The port combination of 48 1/10GbE Base-T interfaces plus four 40 GbE QSFP+ ports is the single specification that determines whether this switch matches a given topology. Confirm that copper cabling and 40 GbE uplink modules align with the planned architecture before purchase. The switch runs Arista EOS and includes dual management ports.
