Condition: NEW — Brand new, factory-sealed unit. Manufacturer Part #: MS420-48-HW
Cisco Meraki MS420-48 48-Port 10GbE SFP+ Aggregation Switch — 960 Gbps Non-Blocking, Cloud-Managed 1U Rack
The Cisco Meraki MS420-48 is a high-density, cloud-managed 10 Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switch offering 48 SFP+/SFP ports and a full 960 Gbps non-blocking switching fabric. Designed for large campus aggregation deployments, it extends the Meraki cloud management platform across the entire network stack from access switching to aggregation through a single, unified dashboard. Hot-swappable, field-replaceable power supplies and fans support continuous operation in mission-critical environments, while front-to-back airflow accommodates standard data center rack airflow conventions.
