Amazon is offering the Ipolex 10G SFP+ module (https://www.amazon.com/ipolex-10GBase-T-Transceiver-SFP-10G-T-S-Supermicro/dp/B01M5LIUK5/ ) for $41 with a 5% discount, taking it to $39. I have one of these on my ICX-6610 and it will do 10 GbE over Cat5E if it's a short run. Note that the 5% discount only works for one item count at a time, I just purchased twice separately ...
Considering that ServeTheHome's favorite Wiitek is @ $47 (thanks @Patrick for making it famous ) I'd say the Ipolex is a good buy.
