Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £21.26 ex‑VAT, this is the sort of SFP you buy when you’re trying to keep a Meraki edge running without paying Cisco-level prices for every optic. For the right hardware, a “compatible” transceiver like the AddOn MA‑SFP‑1GB‑LX10 can be genuinely good value—especially if you’ve got spare ports, a lab setup, or you’re doing routine replacements where you just need link up and stable single‑mode performance on 10km‑class runs.

That said, I’d buy this with your eyes open. Compatibility with Meraki gear is usually fine, but optics can be picky: you want to make sure the module is supported/recognised by the exact MX/MS model you’re using and that your link budget is realistic for your fibre/connector quality (single‑mode LC, 1310nm, ~10km doesn’t mean “always works” if the plant is marginal). If you’re deploying in a critical production path where downtime is expensive, I’d rather stick with original or a brand with a stronger track record in your environment—because the risk isn’t the price, it’s troubleshooting optics/compatibility when you least want to.

**Who should buy:** budget-conscious IT teams maintaining MX/MR/MS networks who know they have supported SFP needs and want low-cost spares. **Who shouldn’t:** anyone putting this into business-critical links with tight performance or uncertain fibre conditions, or anyone who can’t validate compatibility before going live.
