10GB RJ45 gbic

[olditguy]

looking for 10GB RJ45 SFP+ for a MSA 2040 everything i am finding if fiber only or DAC? any help appreciated.

This is because 10GB RJ45 SFP+ is not supported in MSA.
Use a DAC Cable.

Hello,

- SFPs
NOTE: MSA 2040 SAN Controllers or pre-configured systems do not ship with any SFPs. MSA SAS
controllers and systems do not require SFP modules. You must select one of the following SFP options.
Each MSA 2040 SAN controller can be configured with 2 or 4 SFPs. MSA SFPs are for use only with MSA
2040 SAN Controllers. For MSA 2040 10Gb iSCSI configuration user can use DAC cables instead of SFPs.
