DP83869HM: No link indication with a StarTech 1000Base-T SFP Module

Part Number: DP83869HM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83869

Tool/software:

The module has a DP83869HM module connect to a StarTech SFP1000TXST 1000Base-T module and the link indication is not being turned on. I have test the SFP in other systems and it works correctly. Here are the DP83869 registers with no cable inserted:

There are other 1000Base-T SFPs that work correctly.

Any insight why this SFP does not work and others word would greatly be appreciated. 

Also, is there a list of copper SFPs that work with the DP83869HM?
