Connecting C3750s via fibre - what's the fastest...

So our lovely CoLo provider didn't save the cabs next to our current equipment and we are having to put additional cabinets on another floor, connected by a fibre link. This pretty much defeats using a 3750 at all because I won't be able to use the 36Gb connector between floors... does any know if you can get a faster SPF? (10Gb or something)

You can upgrade a stack member on each side to a 3750E and trunk 10Gb 'tween the stacks.

From the product description, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7077/prod_models_comparison.html

the 3750E has ethernet 10G, we need fibre.

10 gig-e includes fiber-based media. See the paragraph entitled "10 Gigabit Ethernet Uplinks and the Cisco TwinGig SFP Converter" in the cat 3750E datasheet:

Here's the datasheet on the X2 10GB modules:
