<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I know that we have some special copper cables that have SFP+ ends. We are going to Cisco 10GB switches out of Broadcom 57711 cards. They were in range of several hundred $$$
each, but cheaper than the fiber option. I can get the info from our Network team, if that is of any use to you?<br>

<p dir="ltr">Is there such a thing as a 10G SFP+ module that has an RJ45 socket instead of fiber? Not a direct copper link but for cat6/6e/7 ethernet cable.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Looking at a few 10G switches and Netgear has a 12 port 10G with rj45 that way affordable but my existing gear all uses sfp+ lc fiber.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The new NetworkManager in centos 7 support link aggregation directly with very cool failover and high bandwidth methods that are supportable in the switching I'm looking at from supermicro (24 port 10G all sfp+ for under $6k).</p>
