Available new and refurbished, the Cisco Meraki MS120-48LP is a 48-port PoE+ Layer 2 cloud-managed gigabit switch designed for enterprise branch offices, mid-size deployments, and distributed networks that demand reliable wired connectivity with centralized management. Delivering up to 370W of PoE+ budget across its 48 access ports, this switch can power IP phones, wireless access points, cameras, and other PoE-enabled devices without the need for separate power injectors.As a cloud-managed device, all configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting are performed exclusively through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard — there is no traditional CLI. This enables IT teams to manage the switch remotely from anywhere, push firmware updates automatically, and gain deep network visibility with minimal on-site effort. IMPORTANT: An active Cisco Meraki Dashboard cloud license is required for this switch to function. Without a valid license, the device will not operate. The license is NOT included and must be purchased separately.
Every unit sold by WhaleyComm undergoes rigorous inspection and functional testing to ensure it meets manufacturer performance standards before shipment. Each switch is verified for port integrity, PoE output, and management connectivity. WhaleyComm stands behind every unit with our Lifetime Warranty, giving your organization confidence in long-term reliability and support.
