Arista DCS‑7280SR‑48C6 — 48‑Port 10/25G + 6‑Port 40/100G Data Center Switch

The Arista DCS‑7280SR‑48C6 is a high‑performance, deep‑buffer data center switch designed for demanding cloud, enterprise, and service‑provider environments. With 48 × 10/25G SFP/SFP28 ports and 6 × 40/100G QSFP+ / QSFP28 uplinks, this platform delivers exceptional throughput, flexible port speeds, and the proven reliability of Arista EOS. Built on the 7280R Series architecture, it provides large routing tables, advanced telemetry, and carrier‑class features ideal for spine, leaf, routing, and storage‑heavy deployments.

Available in both Front‑to‑Back (‑F) and Back‑to‑Front (‑R) airflow options to match any data‑center cooling design.
