The Cisco Meraki MS355-48X-HW is a managed Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise networks. It features 48 RJ-45 Ethernet ports capable of 10G data transfer rates, supporting high-bandwidth local connections. The switch provides a total switching capacity of 544 Gbit/s and a packet forwarding rate of 405 Mpps, enabling it to handle high-volume traffic across multiple ports without bottlenecks. This capacity makes the switch suitable for segmenting large corporate LANs or supporting high-density branch deployments.

This 1U rack-mountable model fits standard telecommunications cabinets. It provides power and data through a total Power over Ethernet (PoE) budget of 740 W. Administrators can configure and monitor the device remotely using the cloud management platform. Access Control Lists (ACLs) and static IP routing provide network security and traffic isolation. The hardware is stackable, allowing for increased port density and collective management of multiple devices. Three internal fans provide active cooling under heavy loads, with a maximum power consumption of 1723 W.
