You may wish to consider twinax for short distance 10G over copper with
SFP+ at both ends
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinaxial_cabling#SFP.2B_Direct-Attach_Copper_.2810GSFP.2BCu.29
Typically marketed as "direct-attach" (you can't remove the cables from
the transceivers, it's all integrated)

I would like to know if anyone has seen one of these? If so where? Also if
they don't exist why? It would seem to me that it would make it a lot
easier to play mix and match with fiber in the DC if they did. Would be so
hard to make the 1G SFPs faster (trying to be funny here not arrogant).
