Product Review

The Arista DCS-7120T-4S-F offers a solid throughput of 480 Gbps and a packet processing rate of 360 Mpps, with a low latency of 2.5 microseconds, catering well to high-performance networking needs. However, its reliance on Category 6a or 7 cabling for optimal 10GBASE-T performance over distances up to 100m might limit deployment flexibility in environments with existing lower-grade cabling. The unit benefits from dual 760W AC power supplies with 1+1 redundancy and hot-swappable PSUs, ensuring reliable power and minimal downtime, albeit its typical power draw of 288 watts could be a consideration for energy-sensitive deployments.
