For finding a workable sfp+10gb-T Transceiver on the DELL S4128F-ON ,I need help and advice.
3 years ago,My company had bought some computer infrastructure equipment 。 I used a dell S4128F-on switch connected to a dell poweredge MX7000 modular.Mx7000 modular contains MX5108N switch, using one of the qsfp+ port of the switch and a qsfp+40Gb to 4*spf+10Gb 5 meters cable(P8T4W), connect with a sfp+10Gb port of the S4128F-ON.
It had been working fine.
We recently purchased a poweredge mx7000 blade server, just like my previous machine.
But now there are some problems , I can't connect the S4128F-on switch with the same cable as before. Because the new mx7000 and S4128F-ON switches are far apart, several cabinets apart,about 10 meters ,Similar to the original cable is only 5 meters ,And there aren't long enough cables。
However, the mx5108N switch has four 10Gb copper cable interfaces, so I wonder if it is possible to install the SFP+-10Gb-T module on the S4128F-ON to connect the 5108N. Within the limits, the length of the copper cable is sufficient.
I know that there is a module for SFP-1gb-t (XTY28) that can be used on the 4128, but I can't find information for sfp+-10Gb-T.
I searched the Internet and found some models: WP2PP and PGYJT.
I haven't done this before, so I'm not sure if this solution will work or if there's a better way.
Anyway, I need them connected with 10Gb bandwidth,not 1Gb. So I need help and advice。

Besides, my English is not good enough.
I wrote this post with the help of translation software.
Forgive me if it seems strange。

Hello,
If you’re specifically looking for a 10GBASE-T module for S4128F-ON switch, you might want to consider the Dell SFP-10G-T (Gen3) compatible SFP+ transceiver to use in the SFP+ ports, part number N61WR , which provides 10GBase-T throughput up to 30 meters over Cat6a/Cat7 copper cable via an RJ-45 connector.
There is a requirement to be on an OS10 version above 10.5.4.5. This transceiver shows also compatible for MX5108n.
Before purchasing, please confirm with Dell sales team by calling Dell on the phone, as the sales team is experienced in confirming about connectivity between Dell switches.

@DELL-Charles R
First of all, thank you very much for your help.
I feel that it is exactly what I need, 10Gb and copper, bandwidth and distance. Maybe I need an OS upgrade for the S4128, but that shouldn't be a problem, I can handle it. Also, I will follow your advice and contact dell sales before purchasing.
Thanks again for your reply.
Finally, I wish you have a nice day.
