The Arista C-260 is a tri-radio Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) access point built for high client density. It combines an 8x8, 8 radio on 5GHz, a 4x4, 4 radio on 2.4GHz and a 2x2 dual-band scan radio. The spec table gives up to 9.6 Gbps on 5GHz and 1.1 Gbps on 2.4GHz, while the datasheet overview cites 4.8 and 1.4 Gbps.
The scan radio is dedicated to WIPS and client connectivity tests, so security scanning does not interrupt service on the client radios.
Two 5GbE RJ-45 ports (100M, 1G, 2.5G or 5G) give it more wired bandwidth than the C-250, which matters when the radios are busy. Full function needs PoE++; on PoE+ the USB port turns off and maximum EIRP is reduced. Power draw is 35.2W maximum and 30W average.
Management is through Arista CloudVision Wi-Fi, cloud or on premises, and requires CloudVision Wi-Fi licensing, which is not included. There is an RJ-45 console and a USB 2.0 port reserved for future use. The unit measures 9.1 x 9.1 x 1.77 inches, weighs 3 lb and mounts on walls or ceilings.
A new AP-C260 is also available.
This seller refurbished AP-C260 is tested, working, and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty.
