Is there a copper 10Gbps SFP for the Catalyst 2960-S that is compatible for connecting to a 10GBase-T module on a Catalyst 4900M?
I know there is some copper SFP's, but I don't know if they are 10GBase-T compatible. Also, with the limited distances, I'm wondering if it's safer using the SR fiber SFP's.
I seem to remember some annecdotal talk about these SFP's - the SFP-H10GB-CU1M - being having to be really carefully connected; i.e. it's easy to lose the link if you bend the cable in a certain way.

I would go with the SR fiber SFP. All you need is a short LC to whatever the 4900M is. I thin it takes X2 module, which make your cable LC to SC

Here are the supported 10G SFP's for the 2960S-
SFP-H10GB-CU1M1
SFP-H10GB-CU3M1
SFP-H10GB-CU5M1
SFP-10G-SR
SFP-10G-LRM
SFP-10G-LR
I personally would go with the SFP-10G-LRM. It's cheaper than the SFP-10G-SR and you can use single or multimode fiber.

Due to physical limitation, SFP+ 10GBASE-T transceiver is not available so far.
The only possible solution is media converter.
