At £853.74 ex‑VAT, this Cisco Meraki hot‑plug PSU is the kind of part you buy because you *have to*, not because it’s “good value”. The reason is reliability and uptime: Meraki power modules are designed to drop in without taking the network down, which matters if you’re running a site where downtime translates directly into lost productivity (or expensive on-site callouts). If you’ve got a Meraki appliance that supports redundant/hot‑swap power, this is exactly what you want—straight replacement, minimal fuss, and fewer variables compared to grey-market equivalents.
Who should buy it? Anyone reselling or supporting Meraki deployments where the cost of downtime is high and the customer expects a professional, quick swap. If you’re just building a one-off lab or a non-critical site with no redundancy plan, it’s hard to justify the spend—buying spare parts “just in case” is usually only sensible when you already have the operational need (or a service contract) to back it up. Also, double-check compatibility with your specific Meraki model before ordering; the price is high enough that getting it wrong is genuinely painful.
