I am moving all of my gear into a rack and building a NAS and I would
like to be able to connect this NAS to a SFP+ port on my switch. I
will be routing every other network cable thru a Patch panel and all
the positions in my rack will be filed up so I really don't have a
choice. I was however unable to find a SFP+ keystone. I can either
just pull the cable thru an empty hole in the patch panel, or use an
optical cable, but I wanted to know if a SFP+ keystone even exists and
if I could use them.

You can use these keystones.

SFP+ is the port that you insert the transceiver into.
The module will likely have an LC connector for fiber.
You can also get a copper SFP with an RJ45 connector.
For your panel you would likely want an LC coupler.

Some other optical connector types are ST, SC and FC, although these
are less common, and in some cases obsolete.
