Re: Is there such a thing as a 10GBase-T SFP+ transciever

You may wish to consider twinax for short distance 10G over copper with SFP+ at both ends

Typically marketed as "direct-attach" (you can't remove the cables from the transceivers, it's all integrated)

hard to make the 1G SFPs faster (trying to be funny here not arrogant).
