Meraki MS120-8LP-HW MS120 Switch – 8x 1G, 2x 1G SFP

About the MS120-8LP-HW

The MS120-8LP-HW is the lower-budget 8-port PoE model in the MS120 family. Its eight 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports deliver PoE/PoE+ from a shared 67 W budget, and two 1G SFP uplinks connect it back to the network. Switching capacity is 20 Gbps.

It is managed from the Meraki Dashboard and runs from an external power adapter, drawing 7 W idle and up to 88 W.

The MS120-8FP-HW has the same ports and uplinks with a 124 W PoE budget, and the MS120-8-HW is the version without PoE. For 24 PoE ports, the MS120-24P-HW has a 370 W budget.

Common questions

8LP or 8FP?

Same eight ports and two SFP uplinks. The MS120-8LP-HW has a 67 W PoE budget; the MS120-8FP-HW has 124 W.

Can all eight ports draw PoE at once?

Every copper port supports PoE/PoE+, but together they share the 67 W budget.
