Hi Everyone , I have some question, I need some help , I have MS425 Switch, but the MS 425 Core Switch not 10G electrical port， I need 10G electrical port connect my Storage Server, So everyone , do you have kosher Light-electricity module 10G？ can you recommend me ? Thanks。
Ok perhaps you mean a 10GBaseT connection, meaning the server has a 10GBaseT copper RJ45 LAN connector? Meraki does not make a 10GBaseT SFP+ module. These are not common in the industry. 10GBaseT does consume more power (runs hotter) and has higher latency than using copper twinax direct attach cables or optical modules, so I think it'll be much more common to connect servers via direct attach cables (or optics). You might be able to use a 3rd party 10GBaseT SFP-10G-T SFP+ module since Meraki does not lock out non-Meraki SFPs, but I don't think it would not be officially supported. Or perhaps another option is a 3rd party 10GBaseT copper to fiber media converter, and connect your server via Cat6/7 to the RJ45 port and use a Meraki direct attach cable like MA-CBL-TA-1M to connect between the media converter and MS425.

Yes， I know you mean , maybe I description not well , Now，I have two MS425, and one storage server, the Storage server is copper wire， i need use copper wire connect my ms425, So I need optical fiber transform to copper , Do you have a suitable optical fiber module recommended?
I think I might understand, you're asking for 10G copper (electrical) modules as opposed to fiber (optical) modules. For 10G copper/electrical, also called TwinAx, your options are the 1 meter and 3 meter "direct attach" cables to attach to servers. Those would be MA-CBL-TA-1M and MA-CBL-TA-3M. See "Direct Attach" in this data sheet: https://meraki.cisco.com/lib/pdf/meraki_datasheet_sfp.pdf

William, have you taken a look at our MS350-24X switches? These switches provide Multigigabit Ethernet connectivity, which will provide 10Gbps over Cat6 copper cables, as defined by the NBASE-T Alliance.
Yes, I Know this MS350-24X provide Multigigabit Ethernet connectivity, support 10G copper and 10G fiber , but the ms350-24X Cannot meet my needs， I need 26, 10G Fiber cub and 4 10G copper cub, So I Choose the MS425-32X, but the MS425-32X not support 10G copper , So i'm very Tangled， I only choose ms425-32x and 10G copper moudule. .....
Using 10GBase-T transceiver to connect MS425-32 and storage server. However, Meraki does not make a 10GBaseT SFP+ transceiver. U can purchase one from 10Gtek which have a good compatibility with Meraki.
