    using SFP+ past 10 meters

    You must mean SFP+ cable limitation is 10 meters, not SFP+ module. Since SFP+ cable is only suitable for very short distance transmission, but SFP+ module and cables can support longer distance.

    Intel X520-da2 SFP+ Optics

    Why not fs? I used to be worried about this site, since their modules are insanely cheaper and shipping charge is out of my expection. But I convinced myself to have a try. No unhappy issues happen, and their free shipping now really impresses me.

    10GBase-T switch for xeon-d home lab

    Why do you need 10GBase-T switch? Normally 10GBase-T port switch is more expensive, and it is not very reliable.
