Can the peer link between 2 nexus 5010's be setup with dual 1gig fiber links or does this link have to be 10 gig?

Thanks

Cisco Nexus 5010 28-Port Switch

The  Cisco Nexus 5010 is a 1RU, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE, and Fibre Channel  switch providing more than 520-Gbps throughput with very low latency  (Figure 3). It has 20 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE SFP+ ports. The  first 8 fixed ports are dual speed, supporting both 10 Gigabit Ethernet  and Gigabit Ethernet in hardware and providing a smooth migration path  to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. One expansion module slot can be configured to  support up to 6 additional 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE SFP+ ports, up  to 8 4Gbps SFP Fibre Channel switch ports, up to 6 8Gbps SFP+ Fibre  Channel switch ports or a combination of 4 additional 10 Gigabit  Ethernet and FCoE SFP+ ports with 4 additional 4/2/1-Gbps Fibre Channel  switch ports. The switch has a serial console port and an out-of-band  10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet management port. The switch is powered by 1+1  redundant, hot-pluggable power supplies and 1+1 redundant, hot-pluggable  fan modules to provide highly reliable front-to-back cooling
