You are right. You need two extra parts.You need to buy a NM module and a SFP separately. NM module goes into one of 3850 slots and SFP goes inside NM module. Then you will able to plug your copper cable.

WS-C3850-24XU supports NM: C3850-NM-2-10G and C3850-NM-4-10G
WS-C3850-12X48U supports NM: C3850-NM-2-10G and C3850-NM-4-10G
WS-C3850-12XS supports NM :C3850-NM-4-10G
WS-C3850-24XS supports NM: C3850-NM-4-10G
You need to get a proper NM for the switch and a 10G copper SFP
Switch plus a NM module plus SFP
when you see X in the model number, it supports 10G
Hope it helps,

If I understand correctly, it is not that you simply plug a cat 6 cable into an ether port that is 10g on the switch but you must insert the 10g copper sfp's into the port?
