Available new and certified refurbished, the Cisco Meraki MS120-48FP is a 48-port, full PoE Layer 2 access switch purpose-built for cloud-managed enterprise and mid-market networks. Delivering a total PoE budget of 740W across all 48 x 1G RJ45 ports, this switch is engineered to power a dense deployment of IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and IoT devices without compromise. Four 1G SFP uplinks provide flexible fiber or copper connectivity to aggregation and distribution layers.As a Cisco Meraki product, the MS120-48FP is managed exclusively through the Meraki Dashboard — a centralized cloud management platform that delivers real-time visibility, automated network monitoring, remote troubleshooting, and zero-touch provisioning. There is no traditional CLI management. A valid, active Cisco Meraki Dashboard cloud license is required for this switch to operate. The license is NOT included with this hardware listing and must be purchased separately.
Every unit sold by WhaleyComm undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection and functional test to verify port integrity, PoE delivery, uplink performance, and hardware health before shipment. Refurbished units are cleaned, tested, and certified to perform to original manufacturer specifications.
All MS120-48FP units from WhaleyComm are backed by our Lifetime Warranty, giving your organization full confidence in long-term network reliability.

Ideal Use Cases
High-Density IP Phone and VoIP Deployments
With 740W of full PoE budget spread across 48 ports, the MS120-48FP can simultaneously power a full floor of VoIP handsets without requiring external power injectors. Cloud-managed QoS policies via the Meraki Dashboard ensure voice traffic is prioritized end-to-end.
Wireless Access Point Aggregation
The MS120-48FP serves as an ideal access-layer switch for powering and connecting Cisco Meraki or third-party 802.3at/af access points throughout office floors, warehouses, or campuses. Centralized Dashboard management allows administrators to monitor connected APs and switch health from a single pane of glass.
SMB and Branch Office Network Deployments
Organizations deploying or expanding branch office infrastructure can leverage the MS120-48FP for scalable, cloud-managed access switching without the need for on-site IT staff. Zero-touch provisioning through the Meraki Dashboard dramatically reduces deployment time and operational overhead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
Yes — this is a critical requirement. The Cisco Meraki MS120-48FP is a cloud-managed switch and requires an active Cisco Meraki Dashboard license to function. Without a valid license, the switch will not pass traffic or be configurable. The license is NOT included with this hardware listing and must be purchased separately from Cisco or an authorized Meraki partner. WhaleyComm recommends confirming your licensing needs before deployment.
The MS120-48FP provides a total PoE budget of 740W, with all 48 x 1G RJ45 access ports supporting IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+). This makes it suitable for powering high-density deployments of IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and IoT devices. The four SFP uplink ports do not support PoE.
Every certified refurbished MS120-48FP sold by WhaleyComm undergoes a comprehensive multi-point inspection that includes port-by-port functionality testing, PoE delivery verification, uplink performance checks, and full hardware diagnostics. Units are cleaned and confirmed to meet original Cisco Meraki specifications. Each unit ships with a WhaleyComm Certificate of Testing and is covered by our Lifetime Warranty.
The MS120-48FP functions as a standard IEEE-compliant Layer 2 switch at the hardware level and can connect to non-Meraki upstream devices such as third-party routers or firewalls via its SFP uplink ports. However, full feature functionality — including cloud management, advanced monitoring, and policy enforcement — is only available when the switch is managed through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard. Non-Meraki PoE devices that comply with 802.3af/at standards can also be powered through the access ports.
