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.
Enterprise-grade 25G top-of-rack switching, professionally tested and backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
This refurbished Arista DCS-7060SX2-48YC6-R is a high-density top-of-rack switch delivering 48 x 25GbE SFP28 ports and 6 x 100GbE QSFP uplinks in a compact 1U form factor. Every unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and inspected by WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified team before shipment — arriving ready for immediate production deployment.The DCS-7060SX2-48YC6-R is built on Arista's proven EOS operating system, providing the consistency, automation, and telemetry capabilities that modern data center fabrics demand. Its rear-to-front airflow (-R suffix) design integrates cleanly into hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center environments, and the combination of 25GbE server-facing ports with 100GbE uplinks makes it an ideal spine-leaf building block for high-throughput compute and storage workloads.
Purchasing refurbished through WhaleyComm delivers the same Arista performance and EOS feature set at a significantly reduced cost compared to new list pricing. WhaleyComm has served 5,000+ enterprise customers across 25+ years, and every unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty — no time limits, no questions asked.

Ideal Use Cases
Spine-Leaf Data Center Fabric
The 48 x 25GbE downlinks and 6 x 100GbE uplinks make this switch a natural leaf node in a modern spine-leaf architecture, providing high-bandwidth server connectivity with low-latency uplinks to spine switches.
High-Density Server Top-of-Rack Deployment
Connect up to 48 servers at 25GbE line rate from a single 1U switch, consolidating rack cabling and reducing the number of upstream devices required in dense compute environments.
Storage Network Aggregation
The combination of 25GbE access ports and 100GbE uplinks supports all-flash and NVMe-over-Fabric storage deployments that require low latency and consistent high-throughput performance.
Hot-Aisle/Cold-Aisle Data Centers
The rear-to-front airflow design (-R suffix) aligns with standard hot-aisle exhaust configurations, making thermal integration straightforward in properly designed raised-floor and enclosed-row environments.
Network Refresh on a Controlled Budget
Organizations upgrading from 10GbE to 25GbE can achieve full Arista EOS functionality and performance at a fraction of new hardware pricing by deploying professionally tested refurbished units from WhaleyComm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The switch provides 48 x 25GbE SFP28 ports for server or endpoint connectivity and 6 x 100GbE QSFP ports for high-speed uplinks to spine switches or core infrastructure. This makes it well suited as a leaf switch in a spine-leaf fabric.
The -R suffix designates rear-to-front airflow, meaning air is drawn in through the port side and exhausted from the rear of the chassis. This aligns with standard hot-aisle exhaust configurations common in enterprise data centers.
Yes. The DCS-7060SX2-48YC6-R runs Arista EOS, providing the same consistent operating environment, automation capabilities, and telemetry features found across the Arista 7000 series platform. A valid Arista service contract may be required for EOS software updates.
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.
