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.
Wire-speed 10G copper switching with 25G uplinks. Professionally tested. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
This Arista DCS-7010TX-48C is a compact 1RU top-of-rack switch delivering 48 × 10/100/1000/10GBASE-T RJ45 ports and 4 × 1/10/25G SFP25 uplinks. Every unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and ships through WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified inspection process — giving enterprise teams a fully verified platform at a fraction of new pricing.Built on Arista EOS, the DCS-7010TX-48C provides wire-speed L2/L3 forwarding at up to 296 Gbps throughput and 220 Mpps, with a low-latency architecture suited to dense compute and storage environments. The platform supports VXLAN, EVPN, MLAG, BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and PIM, and integrates natively with Arista CloudVision for streaming telemetry, Zero Touch Provisioning, and centralized network automation via eAPI and JSON-RPC. Field-reversible airflow, hot-swappable redundant power supplies, and hot-swappable fans further reduce operational risk in production racks.
WhaleyComm has served 5,000+ enterprise customers across 25+ years, specializing in certified-refurbished Arista, Cisco, Juniper, HPE, and Aruba networking hardware. Choosing refurbished through WhaleyComm delivers the same Arista EOS feature set and operational model at a significantly lower capital outlay — without compromising reliability or support.

Ideal Use Cases
Top-of-Rack Copper Server Access
The 48-port 10GBASE-T design makes the DCS-7010TX-48C a natural fit for server racks where copper NIC connectivity is preferred over fiber, eliminating the need for host-side transceivers while delivering full 10G line-rate performance.
Virtualization Cluster Fabric
With MLAG, VXLAN, and EVPN support, this switch provides the redundant, high-bandwidth fabric that virtualization environments require, enabling seamless VM mobility and east-west traffic scaling within the cluster.
Storage Network Access
Low-latency forwarding and wire-speed throughput make the 7010TX-48C well suited as a dedicated storage access switch, supporting iSCSI and NFS workloads across densely connected storage nodes.
Enterprise Leaf Node
As a leaf switch in a spine-leaf architecture, the four 25G SFP25 uplinks provide high-bandwidth connectivity to spine nodes while BGP, OSPF, and ECMP enable scalable, loop-free routing across the fabric.
Cloud-Managed Campus or Branch Core
CloudVision integration and Zero Touch Provisioning allow IT teams to deploy and manage the DCS-7010TX-48C centrally, reducing on-site configuration time and maintaining consistent policy enforcement across distributed sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The -F suffix designates front-to-back (port-side intake) airflow, and the -R suffix designates back-to-front (port-side exhaust) airflow. Both variants are functionally identical in terms of ports, performance, and feature support — airflow direction should be matched to your rack's hot-aisle/cold-aisle cooling arrangement. WhaleyComm can confirm which variant is in stock at the time of order.
Arista EOS is included with the hardware and does not require a separate base license for standard L2/L3 operation. Certain advanced features such as CloudVision management may require Arista service or subscription agreements depending on your deployment. Contact our team to discuss your specific feature requirements before purchase.
Yes. All 48 RJ45 copper ports and all 4 SFP25 uplink ports operate simultaneously at wire speed, with the platform delivering up to 296 Gbps aggregate throughput and 220 Mpps forwarding rate across the full port count.
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.
