Connecting my server's SFP+ 10Gb port to a Cisco 1gigabit switch. Please advise.

So I have a Chenbro 4U server with an older dual LGA 2011 (v1) Foxconn motherboard. It has 2x SFP + 10 Gb ports (1 ethernet port, but it's for BMC). I also have a Cisco SG200-26 gigabit switch. As I've learned recently, you can't connect a SFP+ 10Gb port (using an SFP+ cable) to a 1Gb SFP port. So my question is, would the following set work:

Use a GLC-T Cisco 1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver Module . Plus that into the SFP+ 10Gb port on my server. Then simply plug in a cat 6 cable to run from the transceiver to any open ethernet port on my switch?

Do you know of a better solution or a cheaper one? Or is this priced well and will work with no problems?
