There's a lot of 2.5G copper stuff on the market now - lots being driven by 6E access points.

I assume there's no reason that you can't use a 2.5G copper SFP module to connect to this also?

I would assume all those modules would be 2.5G to SFP+? I've never seen a standard SFP module do more than one 1G. If what the OP is saying is correct, the way Google is doing it is very odd.

2.5Gbps SFP is technically a standard, but since it came out after SFP+ has been standardised no-one really bothered to use it.
