Meraki MS250-48LP-HW MS250 Switch – 48x 1G, 4x 10G SFP+

About the MS250-48LP-HW

For a 48-port PoE/PoE+ switch with OSPF at Layer 3, the MS250-48LP-HW pairs 48 copper ports at 10/100/1000 with a 370 W PoE budget and four 10G SFP+ uplinks. Switching capacity is 176 Gbps, in 1U, managed from the Meraki Dashboard.

Power is modular. One 640 W power supply, the MA-PWR-640WAC, is included, and the second hot-swappable bay takes another for two power supplies. Idle draw is 25 W and maximum draw is 480 W.

Two dedicated stack ports give 80 Gbps of stacking bandwidth over MA-CBL-40G-50CM, MA-CBL-40G-1M or MA-CBL-40G-3M stacking cables.

What’s included
