Description

The Arista 7260X3 64-port 100G switch is a fixed-configuration 2RU data centre switch for dense 100GbE leaf and collapsed-spine tiers. It runs Arista EOS and suits 100GbE top-of-rack and spine roles, high-density storage, financial trading systems that need low, predictable latency, and AI/ML cluster networks.

This SKU is the standard 7260CX3-64 with front-to-rear airflow and two AC power supplies. It provides 64 QSFP100 ports supporting 40GbE and 100GbE, with each port also able to break out to 4x10G, 4x25G or 2x50G, plus 2 SFP+ ports for 10GbE or 1GbE. Throughput is 6.4 Tbps (12.8 Tbps full duplex) with 4.2 Bpps packet forwarding, latency from 450 ns and a 42 MB dynamic shared packet buffer. Power supplies are 1+1 redundant and hot-swappable, with four N+1 hot-swappable fans. Typical power draw is 314 W and the maximum is 616 W.

The QSFP ports accept 100G and 40G optics, DAC and AOC cables, and breakout cables, while the SFP+ ports take 10GBASE optics and DAC as well as 1GbE modules. The switch belongs to EOS Feature License Group 3 and requires EOS 4.20.1F or later.

Q: What power supplies does this switch use?
A: It uses two hot-swappable AC power supplies in a 1+1 redundant arrangement. The front-to-rear model is the PWR-745AC-F, which takes 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz through an IEC C13 inlet.

Q: Which optics and cables work in the QSFP and SFP+ ports?
A: The QSFP ports support 100G optics and cables such as SR4, LR4, CWDM4, PSM4, AOC and CR4, along with 40G QSFP+ modules and 4x10G or 4x25G breakout cables. The SFP+ ports support 10GBASE-SR, LR, ER and ZR optics, DAC and AOC cables, and 1GbE SX, LX and TX modules.

Q: What airflow direction does this SKU use?
A: This SKU has front-to-rear airflow. The matching spare fan tray is FAN-7002-F and the spare power supply is PWR-745AC-F.

Q: How many ports can be broken out to lower speeds?
A: Each of the 64 QSFP100 ports can break out to 4x10G, 4x25G or 2x50G. This allows up to 128 ports at 25G or 50G, or up to 130 10G ports including the two SFP+ ports.
