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.

Tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.

The Refurbished Arista DCS-7050SX-72Q-R is a 1RU fixed-configuration data center switch designed for organizations that demand high throughput, low latency, and operational simplicity. Equipped with 48x 10GbE SFP+ access ports and 6x 40GbE QSFP+ uplink ports, this switch provides exceptional port density in a compact form factor ideal for top-of-rack (ToR) or aggregation deployments.

Powered by Arista's industry-renowned Extensible Operating System (EOS), the DCS-7050SX-72Q-R delivers consistent, programmable network management with full support for open standards and automation frameworks including NETCONF, OpenConfig, and eAPI. The "-R" suffix denotes rear-to-front airflow, making it well-suited for hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center cooling configurations.

Sourced, inspected, and tested by WhaleyComm, this Refurbished unit provides a cost-effective path to enterprise-class switching without sacrificing performance or manageability. Whether you are scaling an existing Arista fabric, building out a new leaf layer, or refreshing aging infrastructure, the DCS-7050SX-72Q-R delivers proven 7050SX-series performance at a compelling price point of $500.00.

All WhaleyComm Refurbished units undergo functional testing prior to shipment, helping your organization maximize IT budget efficiency while maintaining network integrity.

Ideal Use Cases
Top-of-Rack (ToR) Server Access
Deploy the DCS-7050SX-72Q-R as a top-of-rack switch to connect high-density 10GbE server populations directly at the rack level. The 48 SFP+ downlinks support full server connectivity while the 6x 40GbE QSFP+ ports provide high-bandwidth uplinks to spine or aggregation layers.
Spine-Leaf Fabric Expansion
Integrate the DCS-7050SX-72Q-R as a leaf node within an existing or new spine-leaf architecture to scale east-west traffic capacity cost-effectively. Its EOS compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing Arista infrastructure and automation toolchains.
High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Virtualization Clusters
Support demanding workloads such as virtualized environments, storage area networks, and HPC clusters that require consistent low-latency, high-throughput switching. The non-blocking architecture ensures predictable performance under heavy, simultaneous traffic loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The "-R" suffix designates rear-to-front airflow direction, meaning cool air is drawn in from the rear of the chassis and exhausted out the front port side. This configuration is designed for hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center deployments where servers and switches face the cold aisle.
The DCS-7050SX-72Q-R runs Arista EOS and is generally supported by Arista CloudVision for centralized management, telemetry, and automation. Customers should verify the minimum required EOS version for their specific CloudVision deployment and confirm licensing requirements with their Arista representative.
This unit is sold as Refurbished by WhaleyComm, meaning it has been previously deployed and has since undergone inspection and functional testing to verify operational readiness. It is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new hardware while delivering the same core switching functionality.
Arista EOS includes vendor compatibility checks for optical transceivers; using non-Arista-qualified optics may trigger warnings or require configuration adjustments to enable unsupported transceiver operation. We recommend using Arista-qualified or verified compatible transceivers to ensure full functionality and support compliance.
