About the MS150-48LP-4X
When the closet needs 48 PoE ports but only a moderate power budget, and the uplink has to be 10G, the MS150-48LP-4X fits. Its 48 copper ports run at 10/100/1000 with PoE at up to 30 W per port, shared from a 370 W budget, and four SFP+ ports handle the uplinks.
Swap to the MS150-48FP-4X for the same layout with 740 W of PoE, or to the MS150-48LP-4G if 1G SFP uplinks are enough. Maximum draw on this model is 460.6 W, against 36.2 W at idle.
Managed from the Meraki Dashboard, with static routing at Layer 3. The power supply is internal and fixed. Two dedicated stack ports give 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth.

Common questions
Is 370 W enough for 48 PoE ports?
Each port can take up to 30 W, but all 48 share 370 W. For a larger budget on the same ports and uplinks, the MS150-48FP-4X has 740 W.
What is the difference from the MS150-48LP-4G?
The uplinks. This model has four 10G SFP+; the MS150-48LP-4G has four 1G SFP. The PoE budget is 370 W on both.
Will twinax work for a short uplink?
Yes. The MA-CBL-TA-1M and MA-CBL-TA-3M are 10G SFP+ direct-attach cables, 1 m and 3 m.
