I'm not aware of any 10GBASE-T <-> SFP+. I think you might be thinking of SFP+ direct-attach (DA) cabling, where each end of the cable is a SFP+ transceiver. My experience is that the total cost of 2x SFP+ NICs plus a DA cable is about half the cost those NICs, optical cable, and 2x SFP+ SR transceivers. You do want to be very careful about compatibility - we've had problems using the HP SFP+ DA cables with a HP zl switch and a Intel SFP+ NIC in a Dell server.
