[c-nsp] When will SFP+ 10GBase-T optics be available?

I have hosts and storage arrays arriving that are coming with 10GBase-T
ports onboard (and no SFP+ ports).  This makes it very hard to hook to my
SFP+ *only* switches.  ;-)

My research indicates that the lack of 10GBase-T SFP+ modules is likely due
to the power consumption of 10 gig over copper being beyond with the SFP+
form factor allows?

So does anyone on the list know if/when a solution to this need will be
arriving?

Thanks!

P.S.  Perhaps "optics" is the wrong word since naturally 10GBase-T is not
optical...  But you get the idea.  ;-)
