Odd wording on the timing; I'm aware of at least one manufactured 1U system with onboard SFP+ that's been available since Q1-Q2 of this year. (I don't work for the manufacturer, just for a fairly happy customer.) Jima On Wed, Oct 3, 2012, at 7:54am, Drew Weaver wrote:
It was really unfortunate of Intel to release Romley with 10G copper only support at launch, I hear though that soon there will be motherboards with the SFP+ ports integrated.

Does anyone here have experience running copper 10Gbase-T networks? It seems like the standard just died out.
Well, our new supermicro servers come with 10Gbase-T standard on the motherboard.
For us it would make a lot of sense for our applications -- even if throughput and latency aren't as great. If anyone out there knows of any *copper* 10 gig-t switches (48 port?)
