Arista DCS-7280TR-48C6-R Arista 7280R, 48x10GbE RJ45 (1/10G) & 6x100GbE QSFP SWI Arista DCS7280TR48C6R

Description:

The Arista DCS7280TR48C6R 7280R Series Data Center Switch is a high-performance Ethernet switch used in data center and enterprise network infrastructure to provide high-density 10GbE and 100GbE connectivity. Commonly installed in data center aggregation layers, leaf-spine architectures, and high-performance computing networks where scalable and low-latency switching is required. Network engineers, system integrators, and IT infrastructure teams use this switch for data center expansion, network upgrades, high-bandwidth switching deployments, and replacement of legacy aggregation switches.

Applications:

The Arista 7280R Series switch is designed for modern data center environments that require high-throughput, low-latency network switching and scalable connectivity. It is widely used in cloud data centers, enterprise core networks, high-performance computing environments, and large-scale virtualization platforms. The switch supports dense 10GbE server connectivity along with high-speed 100GbE uplinks for spine or aggregation layers, enabling efficient traffic handling, large routing tables, and high-capacity data processing for demanding workloads.
