NETGEAR AXM765-20000S

Overview

The NETGEAR AXM765-20000S is a 10G SFP+ to RJ45 transceiver designed to add high-speed copper connectivity to compatible switches or routers. It converts an open SFP+ fiber slot into a standard RJ45 Ethernet port, supporting data rates up to 10 Gb/s over Cat 6a or Cat 7 cabling. This module is ideal for environments where fiber installation is impractical or existing copper infrastructure is already in place, supporting cable lengths up to 262.5 feet (80 meters) without signal degradation.

Key features

• Transforms SFP+ fiber ports into RJ45 Ethernet interfaces for flexible network setups
• Supports 10 Gb/s throughput to handle demanding data transfers and high-bandwidth applications
• Compatible with NETGEAR managed switches including M4250, M4300, and M4500 series for seamless integration
• Maintains reliable connections over typical rack-to-rack or short campus runs up to 80 meters
• Energy-efficient operation with a low power draw of approximately 2.5 watts, allowing multiple modules without overloading power budgets
• Hot-swappable design enables installation or replacement without powering down the switch, minimizing network downtime
• Compact and lightweight housing fits standard SFP+ cages without strain, simplifying deployment
• Backed by a five-year limited hardware warranty for long-term reliability and support

Connectivity and compatibility

This transceiver provides a practical solution for networks that require 10-gigabit Ethernet over copper cabling. It fits into any standard SFP+ slot on compatible NETGEAR switches, instantly converting fiber ports to RJ45 interfaces. This flexibility allows network administrators to mix fiber and copper connections within the same infrastructure, supporting a variety of devices and setups without needing additional hardware.

Ideal uses and environments

The AXM765-20000S is well suited for creative studios transferring large media files, educational labs requiring fast server access, and home lab enthusiasts pushing virtual machines or NAS appliances beyond gigabit speeds. Its ability to extend 10 Gb/s connectivity over existing copper cabling makes it a strong choice for upgrading network segments without costly rewiring. The hot-swappable feature also supports environments where uptime is critical, allowing upgrades with minimal disruption.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
