The Arista DCS-7050Q-16-R is a 1 RU network switch that provides sixteen 40GbE QSFP+ ports and eight 1GbE SFP uplink ports.

Suits high-density 40GbE aggregation.

This switch suits data-centre teams that need dense 40GbE connectivity in a single rack unit with rear-to-front cooling. Buyers who require 10GbE SFP+ ports, 100GbE uplinks, front-to-rear airflow or integrated rack rails should evaluate other models.

Sixteen 40GbE QSFP+ ports

The defining specification is the sixteen 40GbE QSFP+ ports, which set the maximum 40GbE port density available in this 1 RU chassis. Confirm that your cabling and transceiver plan matches this port count and speed before purchase.

Questions about this item

Which QSFP+ transceivers and cables must I supply to use the sixteen 40GbE ports?

The sixteen ports accept standard QSFP+ modules or direct-attach cables; choose optics or DACs that match your link distance and fibre type.

Can the eight 1GbE SFP uplinks run at 100 Mb/s for legacy devices?

Yes, the SFP ports support 100/1000 Mb/s operation, so older 100 Mb/s SFP modules will link correctly.

How do I confirm the two 460W power supplies and four fans are operating normally after installation?

Check the front status LEDs and log into Arista EOS; the CLI shows real-time PSU and fan health for each hot-swap module.
