About the MS120-8FP-HW
Of the 8-port MS120 models, the MS120-8FP-HW has the largest PoE budget: 124 W across eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports. Two 1G SFP uplinks connect it upstream, switching capacity is 20 Gbps, and it is managed from the Meraki Dashboard.
The power supply is internal and fixed, so there is no separate adapter to place. The switch draws 9 W idle and up to 161 W.
