SFP+ card, I suggest a Mellanox ConnectX-2 or 3, they're cheap and abundant on eBay, and work great with Windows (Not FreeBSD, as I discovered, but I imagine Linux has decent support) and a 10GbE module, I personally have two of these linking rooms together: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XQBFHNL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It honestly might be slightly cheaper to get a pair of ConnectX-2 or 3 cards and get a DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable as tracernz said below. DAC cables max out around 5 meters or so, and get a lot more expensive as they get longer. But unless they're at opposite ends of a large rack, that shouldn't be an issue.
Behold, the horror!
There are 10Gbase-T SFP+ modules, but they're not fully up to the spec and are generally considered to be evil snakes.
It could just be me but I hate Netgear, anytime I see their stuff I just want to throw it out a window and run it over.

You can go with this MikroTik switch for waaaaayyyy less money, get the same number of ports and then just pick up a few 10Gb copper SFPs for pretty cheap and use those. For 20x of those copper sfps and that switch it'll come to about $1,500 USD. You also have the added "future-proofing" bonus of having an SFP-based switch so if you ever want to do 10Gb fiber later down the road and 2x 40Gb QSFP+ ports for fast uplink.
you get SFP NICs where you can and use these for the onboard 10GbaseT transceivers or longer runs on existing cable.
RJ45 switches aren’t coming down very quickly and the power requirements are very high. Best option at the moment is QNAP’s 12 porter. It’s SFP and another 8 ports that you can choose individually between SFP and RJ45, for about $550.
Amazon has plenty with free same day delivery if you're in a pinch.
