Meraki MS225-48-HW MS225 Switch – 48x 1G, 4x 10G SFP+

About the MS225-48-HW

Built for data only, the MS225-48-HW has 48 copper ports at 10/100/1000 with no PoE and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. It is a 1U rack-mount switch managed from the Meraki Dashboard, with static routing at Layer 3.

Without PoE it draws little power: 25 W idle and 42 W at most. The power supply is internal and fixed, and an optional external RPS adds backup power. Switching capacity is 176 Gbps.

Two dedicated stack ports give 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. For the newer model in this line, see the MS150-48T-4X.

What’s included

• MS225-48-HW switch with 48 copper ports and four 10G SFP+ uplinks
• Internal, fixed power supply

Sold separately

• SFP+ optics or twinax for the uplinks, such as MA-SFP-10GB-SR, MA-SFP-10GB-LRM or MA-CBL-TA-3M; all options are under Compatible parts below
• Stacking cables (MA-CBL-40G-50CM, MA-CBL-40G-1M or MA-CBL-40G-3M) if you stack it

Common questions

Does the MS225-48-HW support PoE?

No. None of its 48 copper ports deliver PoE, which keeps maximum draw at 42 W.

What can I plug into the MS225-48-HW uplinks?

The four SFP+ ports take 10G optics, twinax cables or 1G SFP modules such as the MA-SFP-1GB-SX and MA-SFP-1GB-LX10.

How do I stack the MS225-48-HW?

Connect its two dedicated stack ports with MA-CBL-40G-50CM, MA-CBL-40G-1M or MA-CBL-40G-3M cables for 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth.
