Compatible accessories and licences
Licence (Meraki) iMeraki devices need a valid licence to be managed. The licence follows the model and comes in 1–10 years. Enterprise gives the core features; Advanced Security (MX) or Advanced adds more features. Read the guide: How Cisco licensing works →9 options
Uplink module iThe module adds ports to the switch or router. The number is the port count and the letter the speed: G = 1G, X = 10G, Y = 25G, Q = 40G, C = 100G, M = multigigabit copper. Transceivers are ordered separately. Read the guide: Uplink modules – which one? →The uplink ports are on the module · 2 options
Power supply iA second power supply gives redundancy and can raise the switch's total PoE budget. Larger power supplies are needed if many ports must deliver high PoE. Read the guide: PoE – is there enough power? →4 options
Stacking cable iStacking lets several switches be managed as one. A stack has at most 8 switches and is cabled as a ring – as many cables as switches. The cables come in 50 cm, 1 m and 3 m, and all switches in the stack must have the same licence level. Read the guide: Catalyst 9200 or 9300? →3 options

Rack mount iBrackets and rails for ceiling, wall or rack. A standard bracket is often included – choose here if you need a different mounting. Read the guide: Which access point? Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 →1 option
Transceivers 1G SFP iEvery fibre port needs a transceiver. SR = multimode fibre within the building, LR = single-mode up to 10 km, T = copper (RJ45). Between switches in the same rack a DAC cable (CU) is cheapest. Read the guide: Transceivers and cables – what fits? →22 options
