48-Port Gigabit Connectivity

The MS125-48FP-HW provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 access ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps connectivity. The ports use auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX to simplify network deployment.

• 48 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports
• Auto-negotiation support
• Auto-MDIX crossover detection
• PoE+ support across the access ports
• Suitable for high-density endpoint deployments

10G SFP+ Uplinks

Four integrated 10G SFP+ interfaces provide high-speed uplink connectivity for aggregation, distribution and network-core connections. These interfaces provide substantially higher uplink bandwidth than traditional 1G SFP interfaces.

• 4 × 10G SFP+ uplink ports
• High-speed fiber connectivity
• Suitable for aggregation and backbone connections
• Supports scalable branch and campus network designs

740W PoE+ Power Budget

The MS125-48FP-HW is the high-power model in the MS125 family, providing a total 740W PoE budget. This makes it suitable for deployments with a high number of powered network endpoints.
