Cisco will have 10GBase-T switches available, however i strongly suggest 
you look into the various pros/cons of different transceiver options.
10GBase-T with its current power/heat (& latency) probably doesn't make 
sense from a 'green' perspective.

if you're considering 10G to the host within a data center, suggest you 
talk to your Cisco account team & get an update on what options are 
available.


cheers,
