Know before you buy
The switch supports PoE/PoE+/uPoE/uPoE+, meaning it can power high-draw devices like Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, high-definition security cameras, and VoIP phones. With up to 90W available per port, it is designed to handle modern, power-hungry enterprise hardware.
Yes. The multi-gigabit ports are backward compatible and support speeds of 100M, 1Gb, 2.5Gb, and 5Gb, in addition to the full 10Gb capacity. This allows you to connect a wide range of legacy and modern devices over standard copper cabling.
The Meraki dashboard provides a centralized, web-based view of your entire network, allowing you to monitor traffic, configure ports, and troubleshoot issues from anywhere. It eliminates the need for complex command-line configurations, making it easier to manage large-scale deployments.
Absolutely. You can stack up to eight of these switches together, creating a single logical unit with 1Tbps of stacking bandwidth. This allows you to scale your port density while maintaining simplified management through the cloud.
StackPower aggregates the power supplies of all switches in a stack into a single pool. This provides redundancy, ensuring that if one power supply fails, the other units can share the load to keep your critical devices running without interruption.
With a 2000 Gbps switching capacity and modular 10/25 or 40/100G uplink options, this switch is engineered for high-performance enterprise environments. It is well-equipped to handle heavy data loads and demanding applications without creating bottlenecks.
