NETGEAR AXM765-20000S 1-Port 10GBASE-T SFP+ Module

Overview

The AXM765-20000S is a 1-port 10GBASE-T SFP+ module that extends 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to compatible NETGEAR stackable switches. It solves the problem of limited uplink ports in edge environments where you need to consolidate traffic from access points, wireless controllers, or secondary network segments into a single switch chassis. The module operates unmanaged, meaning it passes traffic without requiring configuration — install and it works.

Compatibility

The AXM765-20000S is compatible with NETGEAR stackable switch platforms, access point infrastructure, and Sophos router/firewall systems that accept SFP+ module slots. It pairs directly into supported NETGEAR switch chassis slots. Verify your switch model supports 10GBASE-T SFP+ module insertion before ordering — not all NETGEAR switches accept this module form factor.

Installation Notes

Insert the module into an available SFP+ slot on your compatible NETGEAR switch. Use standard twisted-pair cabling (Cat.6a or Cat.6 is acceptable for 10GBASE-T over shorter distances; Cat.6a recommended for full 100-meter runs). The module requires no power configuration beyond the host switch supply — it draws power from the slot itself. Ensure the switch is powered down before module insertion to prevent transient errors. The module includes 4 years of support from Access Networks, covering technical guidance and expedited replacement if the module fails.
