Copper SFP for Meraki 1GbE links

The STARTECH MASFP1GBTXST is a hot-swappable SFP transceiver that provides a single RJ-45 copper port for 1GbE connectivity. It operates at 10/100/1000 Mbps over standard twisted-pair cabling up to 100 m. The module is 100% compatible with Cisco Meraki MA-SFP-1GB-TX and complies with MSA standards for broad switch interoperability. It draws less than 1.3 W and requires no Digital Diagnostics Monitoring.

Network teams standardising on Meraki gear

This transceiver suits administrators who need a reliable copper uplink for Meraki switches or routers without paying OEM list prices. It fits any MSA-compliant SFP slot, so it also works in multi-vendor environments where a 100 m RJ-45 link is required. Buyers who need fibre connectivity, 10 GbE speeds, or Digital Diagnostics Monitoring should look at other modules.

100 m reach on copper at 1 Gbps

The decisive specification is the 100 m maximum transfer distance over RJ-45 copper at 1 Gbps. This defines the cable run limit for desk, server or aggregation links. If your topology demands longer runs, fibre SFPs are required; if shorter runs suffice, this module delivers full line-rate performance within that bound.

Questions about this item

How do I install the MASFP1GBTXST SFP transceiver and what step do people often miss?

Insert the module into an SFP port until it clicks, then connect an RJ45 patch cable; the step often missed is removing the dust caps from both the transceiver and the cable before seating them.

What maintenance or replacement will this transceiver need over time?

The module has no moving parts and a rated MTBF of 4655371 hours; routine maintenance is limited to keeping the RJ45 port clean and reseating the unit if link errors appear.

What limit appears first when the transceiver runs continuously at full load?

The operating temperature ceiling of 70 °C is the first sustained-use limit; power draw stays below 1.3 W, so thermal headroom in the host chassis determines long-term stability.
