Bridging SFP+ to RJ-45 10GbE on 2960X-48FPD-L

Hey all,

I have a Cisco WS-C2960X-48FPD-L switch that I'd like to connect to the 10Gig Ethernet port on a Synology DS1817. My first inclination was to use a SFP+ Copper RJ-45 Transceiver, but after looking at the compatibility matrix for the switch and judging from some related forum posts, it sounds like it actually working is a "maybe, try it" situation as those Transceivers seem to be a bit of a novelty.

Before I throw $60 out of the window, has anyone tried using a similar transceiver on this model, and is there anything I need to keep in mind before ordering one and a Cat6a cable (aside from the 30 foot limit, which I'll be well below)?

Thanks in advance!
