Easy question :)

10Gb can NOT negotiate to 1GB, thats a basic rule of the 10Gb standard.

You need another SFP's that are listed in de Virtual Connect Flex-10 quickspecs.

ONLY THOSE MODULES ARE SUPPORTED

There are also DAC cables that are much cheaper, but known that DAC cables must be supported on both connected devices!
