1/2RU copper 10GbE leaf switch reaching 2.56 Tbps with high-density RJ45 connectivity and under 5 W per port for cost-efficient server-edge deployments.
The Arista 7050TX Series is a family of 1RU and 2RU fixed switches built for data center leaf tiers where copper 10GbE server attachment eliminates per-port transceiver cost. Four models span 32 to 96 downlink 10GBase-T ports paired with 4 to 8 QSFP+ 40G uplinks, delivering 960 Gbps to 2.56 Tbps of aggregate switching capacity at a consistent 3 µs forwarding latency. Under 5 W per 10GbE port places the 7050TX among the most energy-efficient copper switching platforms for high-density data center use.
A Quad-Core x86 CPU running Arista EOS with 4–8 GB of system memory and 4 GB of flash provides a uniform management, API, and automation surface across all models in the family. Unicast Forwarding Table (UFT) mode selection lets the same hardware pivot between L2-heavy operation at 288 K MAC addresses (UFT Mode 2) and L3-heavy operation at 144 K IPv4 host routes, with 77 K IPv6 routes and 128-way ECMP on 7050X2-generation variants. Redundant 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies and N+1 hot-swappable fans with selectable airflow direction complete the resiliency profile.
RJ-45 copper ports at 10G speed serve a full rack of servers without SFP+ optics in every port, cutting per-connection cost at the access tier significantly.
UFT table profiling allocates shared TCAM between MAC and route entries at deployment time, matching table capacity to the actual L2/L3 ratio of the workload without a hardware change.
A measured cut-through latency of 3 µs is consistent across all port speeds and traffic loads, providing predictable behaviour for latency-sensitive workloads.
Both power supplies and all fan modules are hot-swappable without service interruption, with a choice of front-to-rear or rear-to-front airflow.
