Thanks for all the help and those who reached out to me off list. I changed the 
10G switch to a Netgear one, everything has been ordered and should start 
arriving tomorrow. Ordering cables was the only setback. Even though Amazon 
would state they had them in stock, when I went to complete the order, every 
cable would show "to be delivered in 1 to 4 weeks". Tried multiple vendors and 
had the same result for all of them. Oh well, I will get everything connected 
to the 10G switch when the cables do show up.

It used to be that 10GBASE-T was outside of the SFP+ power envelope but there’s 
a couple of SFP+ modules with 10GBASE-T media now—they work by “modifying” the 
10GBASE-T spec to reduce its power usage. The downside is reduced cable length 
support and what I assume is an absolute ton of heat output.

I would be somewhat concerned about running a bunch of those in my switch but 
one or two would probably be fine. You could also look for a standalone media 
converter that takes SFP+ on one end and delivers 10GBASE-T on the other 
side—probably the more expensive but safer solution since it’s full power and 
dumping its heat somewhere that’s not directly into your switch.

I’m not a hardware dude, but couldn’t you get a fiber NIC for your server?

Something like this:

It used to be that 10GBASE-T was outside of the SFP+ power envelope but there’s 
a couple of SFP+ modules with 10GBASE-T media now—they work by “modifying” the 
10GBASE-T spec to reduce its power usage. The downside is reduced cable length 
support and what I assume is an absolute ton of heat output.

I would be somewhat concerned about running a bunch of those in my switch but 
one or two would probably be fine. You could also look for a standalone media 
converter that takes SFP+ on one end and delivers 10GBASE-T on the other 
side—probably the more expensive but safer solution since it’s full power and 
dumping its heat somewhere that’s not directly into your switch.
