Need a 10GB ethernet SFP for Meraki MS425-16 switch

[jason10]

Will Cisco SFP-10G-T-X SFP module work in a Meraki - MS425-16? 

Any compatibility issues with these two or is there a better option for 10GB ethernet on Meraki - MS425-16?

Take a look at this.

https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/SFP_and_Stacking_Acce...

There is no SFP-10G-T-X SF available, so probably it will not work.

I don't see a 10GBaseT in that chart, need 10GB Ethernet RJ-45 module for that switch.  I know some Cisco modules work in Meraki, did not see a Meraki option for 10GBaseT RJ-45 SFP

If its within 3m you could consider the MA-CBL-TA-3M

Thanks ww, but the other side is connecting directly to Synology FS3410 - 10GbE RJ-45 ports

Hi @jason10 

There is the Cisco SFP-10G-T-X but you'll get hit with the "not supported on Meraki".  States 10Gbps upto 30M.

Many of us on here and used non branded SFP+ modules from other vendors with no issue.  Risk vs Reward....

Some of these work, but you'll just have to take a punt.  It won't be supported if you have issues.

I note that the model SAN listed supports SFP+ expansion cards.  You could use something like:
https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/E10G21-F2 

and then use a TwinAx cable (such as MA-CBL-TA-3M( between the NAS and the MS425, and everything would be fully supported.

If you want to take it a step further - I see that the SAN also has a 40Gbe network card option, and the MS425 has dual 40Gbe ports.

Good spot @PhilipDAth
