NETGEAR AXC761-10000S

Overview

The NETGEAR AXC761-10000S is a 3.3-foot passive SFP+ direct attach cable designed to provide reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over short distances. It features SFP+ connectors pre-attached at both ends, allowing straightforward plug-and-play installation between switches, servers, or storage devices without the need for additional optical transceivers. This cable is well suited for in-rack or adjacent-rack setups where low latency and minimal power consumption are important.

Key features

• Passive design eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing overall cost and simplifying setup.
• Twin-ax copper construction ensures very low latency and minimal power usage, helping to control heat and energy expenses in dense rack environments.
• Pre-terminated SFP+ connectors enable quick and easy installation with compatible 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• Ideal length for connecting devices within the same rack or between adjacent racks, supporting efficient network topologies.
• Broad compatibility with NETGEAR managed and unmanaged switches as well as other vendors’ equipment that supports passive SFP+ DACs.
• Backed by a five-year limited warranty, providing confidence in long-term deployment stability.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to connect directly to SFP+ ports on switches, servers, and storage appliances without requiring additional modules. It works seamlessly with NETGEAR switches that have SFP+ slots and is also compatible with other brands that support passive SFP+ direct attach cables. Its plug-and-play nature means no configuration is needed, making it a practical choice for upgrading network links to 10 Gigabit speeds in small offices, branch locations, or data center racks.

Ideal uses and environments

The AXC761-10000S fits well in environments where short-distance, high-speed connections are needed, such as linking top-of-rack switches to servers or stacking switches within a rack. It is a strong choice for IT professionals looking to upgrade from 1 Gigabit to 10 Gigabit Ethernet without adding complexity or significant power overhead. Its low latency and energy efficiency make it suitable for data centers and network closets where performance and thermal management are priorities.

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.
