This is what you're looking for
Only slightly cheaper at FS.com
I'm assuming your NICs are for SFP+ and not 10GbE, you'd be much better suited just using a DAC
Edit: Actually just buying a couple of these and some fiber would be about half the price of the DAC.
10GTek is who I normally get my cheap modules from, all work with my MikroTik switches no problem:

Pick up a SFP+ 10Gb Base T module? Such as this off amazon , I am sure you can find it much cheaper.
I don't have that exact same configuration...but perhaps close enough to help you out. Here is my setup:
Plugged into the Mellanox I have a 10GTek SFP+ to 10GBase-T transceiver (Amazon Link). I am running a CAT 6 patch cable (about 3 feet long) between this and one of the copper 10G network ports on the US-XG-6POE...works like a charm...has been running this way since July 23 of this year.
IM using a 10Gtek and it works fine

You could go with a 10gtek adapter. Here is one that should work (Cisco generally works with everything but they have a intel version as well)
10Gtek 10Gbase-T Sfp+ to copper
They aren't cheap but yes, you absolutely can and that's the point of SFP+.
