Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Professionally tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
This refurbished Arista DCS-7060CX-32S-F is a high-performance, 1RU fixed-configuration Layer 3 data center switch delivering 32x100GbE QSFP ports and 2x10GbE SFP+ ports with front-to-rear airflow. Every unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and inspected under WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified process before shipment. Dual hot-swappable AC power supplies provide 1+1 redundancy so your network never misses a beat.Built on Arista's Tomahawk ASIC, the DCS-7060CX-32S-F delivers a total switching capacity of 6.4 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 3.3 Bpps with wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 performance. Latency in cut-through mode is as low as 450ns, supported by a 16MB dynamically shared packet buffer that allocates resources to congested ports. Each QSFP port supports breakout to 4x10GbE, 4x25GbE, 1x40GbE, 2x50GbE, or 1x100GbE, providing broad flexibility for top-of-rack and spine roles. Arista EOS powers the platform with Zero Touch Provisioning, real-time telemetry, and rich automation.
This refurbished DCS-7060CX-32S-F delivers enterprise-grade 100GbE density at a fraction of new list price — making it the smart choice for teams scaling data center capacity without scaling their budget. WhaleyComm has served 5,000+ enterprise customers for 25+ years, and every unit ships with our Lifetime Warranty.

Ideal Use Cases
Data Center Leaf/Spine Fabric
The 6.4 Tbps switching capacity and 450ns cut-through latency make the DCS-7060CX-32S-F an ideal leaf or spine node in modern Clos-architecture data centers handling heavy east-west traffic.
High-Frequency Trading and Financial Networks
With latency as low as 450ns in cut-through mode, this switch is purpose-suited for latency-sensitive financial applications where microseconds determine outcomes.
Cloud and Hyperscale Infrastructure
Arista EOS with Zero Touch Provisioning, telemetry, and automation enables large-scale cloud deployments to be provisioned, monitored, and managed programmatically at speed.
Top-of-Rack 100GbE Server Aggregation
The 32 QSFP ports with flexible breakout modes — from 4x10GbE up to 1x100GbE — support diverse server connectivity densities from a single 1RU switch.
Data Center Capacity Expansion on a Budget
Organizations migrating from 10GbE/40GbE to 100GbE can achieve wire-speed performance at a significant capital savings over new hardware pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The '-F' designates front-to-rear airflow. Air enters through the front panel and exhausts out the rear, which is the standard hot-aisle/cold-aisle configuration for most modern data center rack deployments. If your facility uses the opposite airflow orientation, the DCS-7060CX-32S-R is the rear-to-front variant.
Yes. Each of the 32 QSFP ports supports flexible breakout configurations including 4x10GbE, 4x25GbE, 2x50GbE, 1x40GbE, or 1x100GbE. All ports can operate in any mode without limitation, enabling a wide range of connectivity combinations for both top-of-rack and spine roles.
The switch runs Arista EOS (Extensible Operating System), which supports advanced automation, Zero Touch Provisioning, real-time streaming telemetry, and Linux-based tooling. EOS is consistent across Arista's switching portfolio, simplifying operations in multi-switch environments.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
