If you add up the SFP+ optics and cabling costs these are easily more than many ToR switches. Also there are dense 10GBASET switches that can run at line rate and drive distance to ~100M, since this is a Cisco focused mailer I will leave company names off... > > My understanding was "never", based on vendor discussions.
