You can actually do 10Gb ethernet over copper, needs to be cat 6A cables though, and it's only good for 100m. By the time you start faffing about with stuff like that I figure the answer is fiber.
Hrm, the cat-6A specification calls for higher Mhz, up to 500Mhz (twice cat-6), but I don't know of a single vendor using cat6a for 10G. The current standard du-jour is twinax cabling in SFP+ which limits you to ~7m length.
I'd be really surprised if anybody could get 100m with 10g on cat6A, even if the hardware were available.
