Compact Managed Switch

The Cisco Meraki MS130-8-HW is a desktop-format Layer 2 managed switch with eight RJ45 ports and two SFP uplinks. It draws power from an external 12 VDC 2.5 A supply and consumes 8 W at idle and under load. The unit measures 1.1 x 8.74 x 6 in and weighs 1.94 lb.

Cloud Management Included

Every MS130-8-HW ships with a licence for the Meraki cloud dashboard, giving centralised configuration, monitoring and firmware updates without on-site controllers. The interface handles VLANs, QoS, port mirroring and client visibility across distributed sites from a single browser window.

Small Offices and Branch Deployments

This switch suits teams that need zero-touch provisioning and remote troubleshooting for up to eight wired endpoints plus fibre uplinks. Buyers who require PoE for phones or cameras, Layer 3 routing, or higher port density should evaluate other models.

Questions about this item

Will the external 12VDC 2.5A power adapter need replacement during the switch's lifespan?

The switch draws a constant 8W from its 12VDC 2.5A external adapter. If the adapter fails, it can be replaced with any unit matching 12VDC and at least 2.5A output.

What is the first limit reached when all eight RJ45 ports run at full 1 Gbps continuously?

With a fixed 8W power draw at idle and max, the external 12VDC 2.5A supply is the first constraint; it provides 30W headroom but limits total system power.

How much heat and noise does the fanless desktop chassis produce during all-day operation?

The fanless design runs silently at a steady 8W. The compact 1.1 x 8.74 x 6in metal case dissipates heat passively, staying warm but not hot to the touch.
