MS250-48FP-HW is a Cisco Meraki cloud-managed Layer 3 PoE+ switch for access networks that need full 48-port copper density and a larger power budget. It provides 48 1GbE RJ-45 access ports, 4 fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, shared PoE/PoE+ delivery, and a 1U rack-mount chassis in the Cisco Meraki MS250 series. Management runs through Meraki Dashboard, so port profiles, VLANs, routing, monitoring, firmware, packet capture, SNMP, and syslog stay under one cloud operating model for distributed teams. The hardware focus is powered access with routing at the closet, not unmanaged edge switching or chassis aggregation. Within the same family, MS250-48LP-HW keeps the same copper and uplink layout but drops the PoE budget to 370W, while this model raises it to 740W for denser powered endpoint closets and higher access-layer power planning.
176 Gbps switching capacity carries access traffic from the copper edge into 10G uplinks without pushing the platform outside its documented MS250 forwarding design. 130.9 Mpps forwarding rate is derived from the documented switching capacity where a published forwarding figure is unavailable, giving buyers a line-rate reference for bid comparison. 740W PoE budget supports planned allocation across powered access devices rather than unrestricted maximum draw on every port. OSPF routing places local VLAN movement, routed uplinks, and branch Layer 3 control inside the switch configuration, alongside IPv4/IPv6 ACLs, 802.1Q VLAN tagging, 802.1X, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, Broadcast Storm Control, SNMP, syslog, and warm spare operation. MS250-48FP-HW also includes a dedicated management interface, fixed internal fan operation, dual hot-swappable power supply support, and optional 1025W supplies documented for this model. Remote packet capture and automatic firmware upgrades support troubleshooting without relying on local console access. The -5°C to 50°C operating range suits restricted-access equipment rooms and wiring closets with controlled airflow.
At the enterprise access or branch office tier, MS250-48FP-HW connects IP phones, cameras, wireless access points, printers, and workstations, then hands traffic northbound through fixed fiber uplinks. Physical stacking supports up to eight like-model Meraki switches, and the 1U rack format lets teams scale port groups across standard wiring cabinets while retaining the dashboard-led management pattern. ORM Systems supplies this switch in new and certified refurbished condition, tests refurbished units for copper port operation, SFP+ recognition, PoE delivery, power supply health, and Dashboard readiness, then aligns accessories such as transceivers, power cords, licenses, and stack cables. For projects replacing existing MS250 hardware, matched model sourcing helps preserve port templates, rack layouts, and operating procedures already built around the series. Request a quote for unit pricing, multi-site quantities, and compatible spares; enterprise and volume buyers get sourcing support for staged rollouts, spare-pool replenishment, and like-for-like MS250 fleet expansion.

MS250-48FP-HW sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs from phones, cameras, access points, printers, and workstations on 48 1GbE RJ-45 ports. The 740W PoE budget powers dense endpoint groups from the same switch, while 4 10G SFP+ uplinks carry aggregated traffic toward distribution. Engineers configure VLANs, 802.1X access control, QoS, DHCP snooping, and ACL policy in Meraki Dashboard. The result is a high-density powered edge with centralized policy and fewer separate power injectors.
MS250-48FP-HW operates as a routed access or small distribution point where endpoint VLANs require local Layer 3 handling before traffic moves upstream. The switch presents 48 gigabit access ports, routes local VLAN traffic, and participates in OSPF-based designs through the Meraki Dashboard configuration model. Its 4 10G SFP+ interfaces connect to upstream switching, firewalls, or aggregation links. The result is reduced dependence on upstream routing for local VLAN movement and clearer control of branch traffic paths.
Multiple MS250-48FP-HW switches form a physical access stack through the dedicated stack ports and provide up to 80Gbps stacking bandwidth across the closet. Each member adds 48 gigabit copper ports, 740W PoE capacity, and 4 10G SFP+ uplinks for planned northbound connectivity. Engineers standardize stack cabling, power supply layout, VLAN templates, port profiles, and firmware behavior through Meraki Dashboard. The result is expanded access density under one operational view with consistent configuration across repeated switch members.
