Arista CCS-710XP Compact Series Switches

The Arista CCS-710XP Compact Series provides two small-form-factor campus access switches, the 710XP-12TH-2S and the 710XP-28TNH-2S, that deliver 10G SFP+ uplinks and multi-wattage PoE from a compact chassis sized for small wiring closets, under-desk mounting, and AV-equipment rack positions where a full 1RU switch is physically larger than the available mounting space. The 710XP-12TH-2S is fanless, offering 8 standard 1G RJ45 ports at 30W and four ports at 60W, sufficient for a small cluster of IP phones, a PoE camera or two, and a Wi-Fi AP, while the 710XP-28TNH-2S adds a cooling fan to support a larger 24×1G/4×5G PoE port configuration capable of serving a modest-sized meeting room or branch floor segment.

Both models include a fixed internal power supply (available in 180W or 460W for the 710XP-12TH-2S) that eliminates the external brick common to ultra-compact switches, simplifying cable management in small enclosures. Two 1/10G SFP+ uplink ports accept copper DAC cables through to 40 km single-mode optics, matching the transceiver support range of the larger 710P and 710HXP siblings in the 710-series campus family. Forwarding tables at 16K MAC addresses, 8K/4K IPv4/IPv6 hosts, and 2K/512 IPv4/IPv6 routes provide capacity appropriate to access-layer roles connecting up to several hundred endpoints through the switch. Arista EOS runs on both models, preserving consistent CLI, ZTP provisioning, and CloudVision telemetry integration across the 710XP compact and the rest of the Arista campus portfolio.
