They are, at least through distributors - I recently quoted a XG2000C and XG0448, and am in the midst of generating a PO for a XG0448 + CX4 modules for a small project.

The WLGore IBN6800-3 part number is the one we've use for Roach1 to Fujitsu switches. We have a number of 3m WLGore copper cables we no longer use. I'd need to verify with my management but perhaps we can arrange a trade or sale or something... The Fujitsu switches seem to work well. But they, as well as the CX4 interface more generally, are getting pretty old. I don't know if Futjitsu is even still selling CX4 switches.
