It really is when you're talking 400G.
OK there's very few ports on this, but in general if you're looking at 400g interfaces. $1100 won't even get you a genuine Arista 400G passive DAC.
- bobdvb 13d agoOn their video Patrick points out that this is now lower than $1 per Gbps, cheaper than any of the cheapest AliExpress switches.
- iscoelho 13d agoPower usage is also very reasonable! 400GE switches and routers pull a ridiculous amount of power.
- iso1631 12d agoI believe the 30W figure was power usage before SFPs or DACs. Looks like 400G sfps are about 10W, so you'd double it when fully loaded. I believe passive twinax doesn't use anywhere near that though. https://www.fs.com/eu-en/products/82464.html https://www.fs.com/eu-en/products/82464.html Claims "Near-Zero Power", but I have zero experience with >100g
