Arista DCS-7050SX-64-F Overview
DCS-7050SX-64-F is a fixed-configuration
1RU Arista 7050SX low-latency switch designed for data center leaf and top-of-rack (ToR) deployments. Built on
Broadcom Trident II silicon, this model provides
48 x 10GbE SFP+ ports for server-facing connectivity and
4 x 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks, and is configured with
front-to-rear airflow (-F).
As part of the
7050SX series, this system is commonly used in low-latency leaf roles and top-of-rack configurations where sub-microsecond forwarding, dense 10GbE connectivity, and predictable performance are required.

Operational Use Cases
The DCS-7050SX-64-F is typically deployed in environments requiring high-density 10GbE server connectivity with 40GbE uplinks to aggregation or spine layers. Common use cases include data center leaf switches in EVPN-VXLAN fabrics, top-of-rack access for compute clusters, and low-latency applications where deterministic forwarding performance is critical.
Testing, Warranty, and Support
All systems are professionally tested and inspected prior to shipment. Units are packaged for secure transport and backed by warranty coverage. If you need assistance confirming airflow compatibility, optics requirements, or deployment fit, our team can validate the configuration before quoting.
