Description

Arista 7050TX3-48C8 Data Center Switch

The Arista 7050TX3-48C8 is a high-performance data centre Ethernet switch designed for enterprise networks, cloud infrastructure, server connectivity and high-density computing environments. It combines 48 copper Ethernet ports with eight high-speed QSFP uplink ports in a compact 1RU rack-mountable platform.

With support for 1GbE and 10GbE BASE-T connections and 40GbE or 100GbE uplinks, the switch provides flexible connectivity for organisations upgrading their data centre networks or connecting servers, storage systems and network infrastructure.

Key Features

• 48 × 1/10GbE BASE-T ports: Connect compatible servers and network devices through RJ45 copper cabling.
• 8 × 40/100GbE QSFP ports: Provide high-speed uplinks for spine switches, aggregation layers and other compatible network equipment.
• 2.56 Tbps switching capacity: Supports high-bandwidth data centre networking.
• Compact 1RU design: Fits standard network racks and data centre cabinets.
• Arista EOS: Runs Arista’s Extensible Operating System, designed for network automation, monitoring and operational consistency.
• Flexible connectivity: Supports compatible transceivers, cables and breakout configurations for different network designs.
• Data centre deployment: Suitable for leaf-and-spine architectures, server racks and high-density computing environments.

High-Speed Copper Connectivity

The 48 BASE-T ports make the Arista 7050TX3-48C8 suitable for environments that use copper Ethernet connections to servers and other devices. Depending on the connected equipment and cabling, these ports support 1GbE and 10GbE connectivity, helping organisations integrate compatible existing equipment with higher-speed network infrastructure.

High-Speed Uplinks

The eight QSFP ports support 40GbE and 100GbE connectivity, providing bandwidth for links to aggregation or spine switches. These interfaces help network architects build scalable data centre topologies and accommodate increasing traffic between servers, storage platforms and network services.

Compatible transceivers, cables and breakout configurations should be selected according to the required link speed, distance, fibre type and supported hardware configuration.

Enterprise and Cloud Networking

The Arista 7050TX3-48C8 is designed for demanding Ethernet environments where throughput, scalability and consistent network operations are important. It can be considered for enterprise data centres, cloud infrastructure, server and storage networks, and high-density computing deployments.

Arista EOS provides a consistent software platform for network administration and automation. Actual feature availability depends on the installed software version, configuration and licensing requirements.

Rack Integration and Deployment

The 1RU form factor helps conserve rack space while providing a combination of copper access connections and high-speed uplinks. Before installation, confirm the required power supplies, airflow direction, rack depth, cabling, optics and compatibility with the existing network.
