Officially supported are the ones listed on the MS510TXM, MS510TXUP Data Sheet p. 13 under Optional Modules, Software Licenses and Accessories

Any advice please?
Severl aspects potential buyers need to understand_
- SFP and SFP+ modules were originally designed for fiber links, less for 10GBase-T.
- The modules don't magically translate multiple link speed rates to the switch SFP host port - the possible link speed might depend on what the effective device (switch, the PCI adapter, ...) does allow.
- The possible supported distance is limited to about 30 meters for the lower cost modules (because the power available is limited on the SFP/SFP+ garage ports), while more expensive ones support up to 80 meters (which is less than the theoretical Ethernet copper PHY distance).
Therefore: Buyers, beware - and please be aware of the technology limitations.
