MS355-48X2-HW is a Cisco Meraki cloud-managed Layer 3 multigigabit access switch built for high-density 802.11ax wireless and campus edge environments. It provides 24 fixed 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G mGig RJ-45 ports, 24 fixed 1GbE RJ-45 ports, four fixed 1/10GbE SFP+ ports, and two fixed 40GbE QSFP+ uplink ports, so the uplink design is fixed rather than modular. PoE++ support is available with a shared 740W power budget for powered devices such as access points, cameras, phones, and edge appliances. The rack-mount chassis is a member of the Cisco Meraki MS355 series, positioned for access closets that need copper density and high-speed aggregation in one managed platform. Compared with the MS355-48X, this model increases the documented mGig RJ-45 count from 16 to 24 ports while keeping the same fixed SFP+ and QSFP+ uplink layout.
688 Gbps switching capacity gives the access layer enough aggregate bandwidth for mixed copper access and fiber uplink traffic. 511.9 Mpps forwarding rate supports high packet movement across dense endpoint and uplink traffic profiles. 740W PoE budget provides shared power allocation for connected devices without claiming maximum draw across every powered port at once. Layer 3 routing including OSPF supports routed access designs where VLAN traffic can be handled closer to users, wireless cells, or local application zones. MS355-48X2-HW also includes a dedicated management interface, Meraki Dashboard management, remote packet capture, automatic firmware upgrades, SNMP/Syslog integration, IPv4/6 ACL support, VLAN tagging, Broadcast Storm Control, Dynamic ARP Inspection, DHCP Snooping, 802.1X authentication, warm spare capability, and hot-swappable fans and power supplies for operational continuity. Full-duplex network ports and Category-6a cabling guidance help administrators preserve reliable multigigabit operation across demanding horizontal cable runs.
At the enterprise access tier, this switch connects Wi-Fi 6 access points, surveillance systems, IP phones, workstations, and compact edge servers that need higher copper speeds plus fiber uplink capacity. Dedicated 100G hardware stack ports provide 400 Gbps stacking bandwidth, and the 1U rack-mount chassis fits standard wiring closets or campus distribution rooms without taking extra rack space. ORM Systems supplies MS355-48X2-HW in new and certified refurbished condition, with refurbished units checked for port negotiation, power supply status, fan health, front-panel status behavior, and Meraki cloud-claim suitability before resale. Request pricing from ORM Systems for immediate purchase planning, bulk availability, and lead-time confirmation across single-site upgrades or multi-site refresh schedules. It also suits refresh projects where buyers must standardize access switching while maintaining predictable spares and licensing paths. For enterprise rollouts, campus refreshes, and volume procurement, the platform offers consistent multigigabit access density with commercial options aligned to staged deployments, replacement stock planning, and lifecycle-controlled network expansion.

MS355-48X2-HW sits in an access closet and terminates copper runs for Wi-Fi 6 access points, workstations, phones, cameras, and local devices across 24 10G mGig RJ45 ports and 24 1G RJ45 ports. Engineers place high-bandwidth endpoints on the mGig ports, reserve 1G ports for standard clients, and apply VLANs, 802.1X, QoS, and ACL policy from the Meraki Dashboard. UPoE budgeting aligns powered access points and edge devices to the same closet plan. The access layer gains higher copper bandwidth without replacing every endpoint run.
The switch aggregates endpoint traffic at the access edge and hands it northbound through 4 10G SFP+ uplinks or 2 40G QSFP+ uplinks. Network teams map trunk links, routed interfaces, or port channels to the distribution design, then use Layer 3 switching and OSPF where local routing belongs in the closet. MS355-48X2-HW keeps mixed 1G and mGig access traffic separated from high-capacity fiber handoff. Distribution receives cleaner routed or trunked traffic, reducing uplink congestion during access refresh projects and stack expansion cycles.
Multiple compatible MS355 switches form a physical stack through dedicated stack ports with 400G stacking bandwidth. MS355-48X2-HW contributes 48 copper access ports per member, 740W UPoE budget, hot-swappable power supplies, and hot-swappable fans to a managed closet block. Engineers standardize firmware, VLANs, uplinks, and Layer 3 policy across the stack from the Meraki Dashboard. Operations teams add members, expand port density, and preserve one cloud-managed control point for the closet as endpoint demand increases. Stack changes remain visible in one operating view.

MS355-48X2-HW is a Cisco Meraki MS355 Series cloud-managed Layer 3 multigigabit switch for high-density wired and wireless access networks. It provides 24 multigigabit RJ45 ports, 24 1G RJ45 ports, fixed 10G and 40G fiber uplinks, UPoE power, physical stacking, and central management through the Meraki Dashboard.
The MS355-48X2-HW model number identifies a Meraki MS355 hardware switch with 48 copper access ports and the X2 port mix. In this model, X2 refers to 24 mGig RJ45 ports plus 24 1G RJ45 ports. The HW suffix indicates the physical hardware appliance, separate from the required Meraki cloud license.
Cisco Meraki MS355-48X2-HW is a rack-mountable managed Ethernet switch, not a router, firewall, or wireless access point. It sits in the access or distribution layer and connects high-bandwidth endpoints, access points, workstations, servers, and upstream switches while the Meraki Dashboard handles configuration, monitoring, firmware, and troubleshooting workflows.
MS355-48X2-HW sits in the higher-performance Meraki MS access switching range above simpler 1G access models such as MS225 and MS250. It adds dense multigigabit copper, 40G QSFP+ uplinks, 400G physical stacking, Layer 3 routing including OSPF, and UPoE support for networks that need more access bandwidth and power headroom.
MS355-48X2-HW includes 24 mGig RJ45 ports that negotiate 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, or 10G, plus 24 standard 10/100/1000 RJ45 access ports. For uplinks, it provides 4 SFP+ ports supporting 1G or 10G and 2 QSFP+ ports supporting 40G fiber connectivity for aggregation in campus or branch networks.
MS355-48X2-HW has 688 Gbps switching capacity, making it the highest-capacity model in the MS355 family table. This matters when many multigigabit access points, workstations, or local high-throughput devices need to forward traffic toward 10G SFP+ or 40G QSFP+ uplinks without treating the switch as a simple 1G access layer device.
MS355-48X2-HW supports UPoE with a 740W PoE budget. The 1G ports support powered endpoint use, while the multigigabit ports are suited to higher-power devices such as Wi-Fi 6 access points that require more bandwidth and power than a standard 1G PoE+ edge switch provides in access designs.
MS355-48X2-HW is a Layer 3 Meraki managed switch. It supports Layer 3 switching including OSPF, along with VLAN tagging, IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs, DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, 802.1X authentication, broadcast storm control, and warm spare operation for routed campus access or distribution designs at scale.
MS355-48X2-HW is managed through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard rather than a traditional local CLI workflow. The dashboard provides port configuration, VLAN settings, Layer 3 routing configuration, remote packet capture, firmware upgrades, SNMP and Syslog integration, client visibility, monitoring alerts, and troubleshooting information from a cloud-managed interface.
MS355-48X2-HW supports physical stacking through 2 dedicated hardware stack ports. The MS355 family provides 400G stacking bandwidth, allowing multiple compatible MS355 switches to operate as a stacked access block with unified management, coordinated uplinks, shared configuration visibility, and simplified expansion across high-density wiring closets and repeated deployments.
MS355-48X2-HW is used for dense multigigabit access switching where 1G copper no longer fits every endpoint. It connects Wi-Fi 6 access points, high-performance workstations, local servers, IP phones, cameras, and standard wired clients while forwarding traffic through 10G SFP+ or 40G QSFP+ uplinks toward distribution or aggregation switches.
MS355-48X2-HW fits medium to large access networks that need mixed 1G and multigigabit copper at the same wiring closet. Its 48 access ports, 740W UPoE budget, 688 Gbps switching capacity, and 400G stacking bandwidth suit deployments where wireless, workstation, and edge device traffic has outgrown standard 1G access switches.
Cisco Meraki MS355-48X2-HW suits bandwidth-heavy access workloads such as Wi-Fi 6 access point backhaul, multigigabit workstation connectivity, local server access, voice and video QoS, and routed VLAN segmentation. The mix of 24 mGig and 24 1G copper ports lets network teams reserve faster ports for devices that actually need them.
MS355-48X2-HW is designed for Meraki cloud-managed switching deployments. It is claimed into a Meraki Dashboard organization, added to a dashboard network, connected to the local LAN, and then configured centrally for VLANs, ports, Layer 3 routing, stacking, monitoring, firmware, and remote troubleshooting across distributed operations.
MS355-48X2-HW integrates with the Cisco Meraki Dashboard, the same cloud management platform used for Meraki MS switches, MR wireless access points, MX security appliances, and related Meraki network services. The switch requires the correct Meraki licensing model for dashboard management, support entitlement, and firmware access.
MS355-48X2-HW provides 4 SFP+ uplink ports for 1G or 10G fiber modules and 2 QSFP+ uplink ports for 40G connectivity. Network teams typically match Cisco Meraki compatible SFP, SFP+, or QSFP+ optics to the installed fiber type, distance requirement, and upstream switch interface during deployment.
MS355-48X2-HW supports common switching security controls including 802.1X authentication, IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs, Dynamic ARP Inspection, DHCP snooping, broadcast storm control, and VLAN tagging with 802.1Q. These standards help the switch integrate into segmented campus designs, authenticated access networks, and controlled endpoint onboarding workflows with consistent policy.
MS355-48X2-HW multigigabit ports use RJ45 copper and negotiate 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, or 10G. Cisco Meraki recommends Category 6a cabling for reliable multigigabit operation because it better controls alien crosstalk and noise across longer or bundled cable runs than older cabling designs in dense closets.
MS355-48X2-HW is the stronger choice when more multigigabit access ports are needed. It provides 24 mGig RJ45 ports and 24 1G RJ45 ports, while MS355-48X-HW provides 16 mGig ports and 32 1G ports. MS355-48X2-HW also lists higher switching capacity at 688 Gbps versus 544 Gbps.
MS355-48X2-HW doubles total copper access density compared with MS355-24X2-HW. The 48X2 model provides 24 mGig plus 24 1G ports, while the 24X2 model focuses on 24 mGig ports only. Both include 4 SFP+ ports, 2 QSFP+ ports, 740W UPoE, and 400G stacking bandwidth for expansion.
MS355-48X2-HW is better suited to larger access closets than MS355-24X-HW. The 48X2 model provides 48 copper ports with 24 mGig ports, while MS355-24X-HW provides 16 1G ports and 8 mGig ports. Both support Layer 3, UPoE, 40G QSFP+ uplinks, and 400G physical stacking for campus designs.
MS355-48X2-HW is a higher-performance successor-style option for networks evaluating older MS350 multigigabit access switches. Compared with MS350 models, the MS355 family adds 40G QSFP+ uplinks and 400G stacking bandwidth, while retaining Meraki Dashboard management and Layer 3 switching for cloud-managed campus designs and access refreshes.
MS355-48X2-HW pricing depends on condition, quantity, licensing requirement, lead time, and available channel supply. Buyers usually compare new, refurbished, and bulk options because Meraki hardware pricing changes by availability. ORM Systems lists Cisco Meraki hardware for quote-based B2B purchasing, allowing teams to request current pricing for this exact SKU.
MS355-48X2-HW is commonly sourced in new, surplus, or refurbished condition depending on market availability. Refurbished units are useful for matching an existing Meraki estate, replacing failed hardware, or expanding a standardized switch stack when brand-new inventory is limited or commercially unsuitable for the project budget.
MS355-48X2-HW should be checked against Cisco Meraki lifecycle notices before procurement because Meraki switch families change over time. Even when a model is end-of-sale, buyers often source hardware for expansion, spares, replacements, or support of installed networks that still rely on MS355 switching and compatible Meraki licensing.
MS355-48X2-HW lead time depends on live supplier stock, requested condition, order quantity, destination, and whether matching accessories or licenses are included. A single replacement switch often moves faster than a bulk refresh order, while refurbished or tested stock requires availability confirmation before a delivery date is committed by sales operations.
Bulk pricing for MS355-48X2-HW is usually available when multiple units are requested for stack expansion, access closet refresh, staged rollout, or spares inventory. Quantity-based quoting helps buyers compare unit cost, condition, warranty cover, shipping, and license planning across the complete Meraki switching requirement.
MS355-48X2-HW purchases from ORM Systems are typically offered with warranty options that depend on condition, sourcing route, and commercial terms. Buyers should confirm the exact warranty period, return process, and coverage details at quotation stage, especially when comparing new, refurbished, and surplus Cisco Meraki hardware.
Refurbished MS355-48X2-HW units should be checked for power-on status, port functionality, fan and power supply health, uplink recognition, physical condition, serial visibility, and dashboard claim readiness before dispatch. Testing reduces the risk of receiving hardware that fails during replacement, staging, or stack expansion work in production.
MS355-48X2-HW follows Cisco Meraki enterprise switch hardware compliance for its platform and supports standards-based Ethernet switching functions such as 802.1Q VLAN tagging and 802.1X authentication. For regulated procurement, buyers should request the current Cisco datasheet, safety documentation, and regional compliance details for the exact hardware revision.
MS355-48X2-HW is first claimed into a Meraki Dashboard organization, added to the correct dashboard network, physically connected to the LAN, powered on, and allowed to check in. After the initial cloud connection, administrators configure ports, VLANs, Layer 3 routing, stacking, firmware behavior, and monitoring from the dashboard.
MS355-48X2-HW requires the correct Cisco Meraki switch license for dashboard management, firmware updates, support access, and cloud-controlled operation. The hardware SKU and the license term are normally purchased or renewed separately, so buyers should align license duration with deployment plans and existing Meraki organization policy.
MS355-48X2-HW deployments commonly require rack mounting hardware, compatible power cords, suitable copper cabling, SFP+ or QSFP+ optics for uplinks, stacking cables for physical stack designs, and an active Meraki Dashboard organization with licensing. Multigigabit ports should be paired with cabling that supports the intended negotiated speed.
MS355-48X2-HW is available for UK B2B procurement through ORM Systems, subject to live stock, condition, and licensing requirements. Buyers searching for Cisco Meraki MS355-48X2-HW price information should request a quote that confirms hardware condition, warranty cover, lead time, shipping, and any needed Meraki licenses.
ORM Systems supports international enquiries for MS355-48X2-HW depending on destination, export requirements, stock location, courier availability, and commercial terms. International buyers should confirm shipping cost, lead time, customs documentation, warranty handling, and whether Meraki licensing or regional support requirements affect the intended deployment country before ordering or final procurement.
