I have a query regarding sfp cable connection between 2 models C9300-NM-8X-M & CISCO MS210-48-HW in the same rack itself. Can I connect both the models with a twinax cable with model - Cisco MA-CBL-TA-1M. Will they support it? Because (C9300-NM-8X-M switch) it supports 10g sfp+ & CISCO MS210-48-HW (because it supports 1g sfp port) and the twinax cable (Cisco MA-CBL-TA-1M) supports 10g. So will this scenario works here?
Note: All are meraki models.

@13jobsp90 No, this setup won’t work. The Cisco MA-CBL-TA-1M is a 10G twinax cable, and while the C9300-NM-8X-M supports 10G SFP+ ports, the Meraki MS210-48-HW only supports 1G SFP ports. Twinax cables require both ends to operate at the same speed (10G in this case), and they’re not backward compatible with 1G ports. To connect these switches, you should use 1G SFP modules with a fiber patch cable or a 1G-compatible copper SFP module with an Ethernet cable.
