DCS-7010T-48-R: Arista 7010T Series 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet Switches

The DCS-7010T-48-R is the rear-to-front airflow, dual-AC model of the Arista 7010T-48: 48 x 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and 4 x SFP+ ports that run at 1GbE or 10GbE, with two AC supplies and two C13-C14 cords in the box.

Throughput is 176 Gbps and 132 Mpps, with 3 us latency from the RJ45 ports to the uplinks. A multi-core x86 CPU runs EOS with 4 GB of system memory and 4 GB of flash, and 4 MB of packet buffer is allocated dynamically. EOS 4.14.2 is the minimum.

Management is through one 10/100/1000 port, one RJ-45 RS-232 serial port and one USB port. Cooling and power are redundant: two hot-swap power supplies (1+1) and two hot-swappable fans (1+1); the -R in the part number denotes rear-to-front airflow, and a reversible airflow option exists. The AC supply is 65 W for 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz on an IEC 320-C13 inlet.

Power draw is a typical 52 W and a maximum 65 W, which makes the 7010T a low-power gigabit access switch. It measures 19 x 1.75 x 10 in (44.5 x 4.4 x 25.4 cm) and weighs 9.5 lb (4.3 kg), and operates at 0 to 40 C. The SFP+ ports take 10GBASE-CR cables from 0.5 m to 5 m.

The front-to-rear version is the DCS-7010T-48-F and DC-powered versions are -DC-F and -DC-R. A power cord for it is the CAB-C13-US; other Arista 1U switches such as the DCS-7050TX-48-R are in the networking category.
