NETGEAR AXC761-10000S 1M SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The NETGEAR AXC761-10000S is a 1-meter passive SFP+ direct attach cable rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in enterprise data center and rack environments. This cable eliminates the need for separate SFP+ transceivers and active electronics, reducing cost and power draw on high-density switch deployments. The 1-meter length suits typical rack-to-adjacent-equipment connections without excess slack that requires cable management overhead.

Compatibility

The AXC761-10000S connects any two devices equipped with SFP+ ports operating at 10G speeds. This includes NETGEAR managed and unmanaged switches with SFP+ uplinks, compatible routers, network appliances, and storage systems with SFP+ interfaces. Verify your endpoint supports passive DAC (direct attach cable) operation—some older or specialized appliances require active transceivers. The cable is passive, meaning it draws no power from either port.

Installation Notes

No special tools or configuration required. Insert the cable connectors fully into both SFP+ ports until they click—over-insertion or cross-threading is rare but will cause signal loss. The plastic housing is rated for standard data center operating temperatures (0 to 50°C). Avoid sharp bends or kinks during deployment; coil excess length loosely rather than tight spirals to prevent permanent deformation of the internal copper traces. Do not expose to direct moisture, solvents, or temperatures outside the rated range.
