10Gbe Cat6A SFP/Cable option for Catalyst 4500-X-32

I think i'm hosed, but checking the hive mind...


I have a dell server that has onboard 10Gbe copper RJ45s built-right into it...indicating Cat6a/7 is required.  Problem is I have a Catalyst WS-C4500-X-32 switch which is a little older and according to what I've found, there is not a compatible SFP for it:

Is that correct or will it work but just is not supported?  Are there any other options available?  3rd party? Need some advice ASAP please.  Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks,


Ed

Are you sure this switch does not support SFP-T ?

Get 3rd party.  Not only is it cheaper but 3rd party can "re-flash" the EE Prom so the switch will think it is something else.

Do you know which model works?  Recommendations please?  Thanks!
