Managed 48-port mGig switch

The Meraki MS355-48X is a rack-mountable Layer 3 switch built for managed enterprise networks. It targets organizations deploying high-density 802.11ax wireless infrastructure such as universities, hospitals and large public venues. The unit delivers 48 network ports combining multi-gigabit and gigabit connectivity in a single appliance.

Port mix for access and uplink

Sixteen 10 GbE RJ45 ports and thirty-two 1 GbE RJ45 ports serve wired clients and access points directly. Four 10 GbE expansion slots plus two 40 GbE uplink ports provide flexible aggregation toward the core. Two dedicated 100 GbE stack ports enable hardware stacking without consuming uplink or access capacity.

Passive optic-ready design

The switch supports optic media across its uplink and stack interfaces, allowing fibre runs suited to the site layout. With a weight of 13 lb it fits standard rack mounting hardware. Power draw and acoustic output vary with the transceivers and modules installed, so thermal planning follows the chosen optic configuration.

Questions about this item

What limits the 48 ports when the MS355-48X runs at full speed all day?

The 16 multi-gigabit ports each negotiate up to 10Gbps while the 32 Gigabit ports cap at 1Gbps, so sustained throughput is bounded by those per-port ceilings.

How much heat or noise should I expect from the MS355-48X during continuous operation?

The 13 lb rack-mount chassis uses internal fans to cool the 48 active ports, four 10G uplinks, two 40G uplinks and two 100G stack links under load.

Which licence must I already own before the MS355-48X will pass traffic?

A valid Meraki cloud licence for the MS355 series is required to activate the switch and manage its 48 ports, uplinks and stacking links.
