NETGEAR Passive SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (3.3')

The NETGEAR AXC761-10000S is a 3.3-foot passive SFP+ direct attach cable designed for short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. It arrives with SFP+ connectors already attached at both ends, so you can plug it straight into compatible ports on switches, servers, or storage appliances without adding separate optical modules.

Inside the jacket you will find a twin-ax copper assembly that keeps latency very low and consumes almost no power, which helps when you need fast performance but still want to control heat and energy costs inside a rack. Because the cable is passive, there is nothing to configure; once it clicks into place the link comes up automatically.

The length is ideal for in-rack and adjacent-rack connections. Use it to stack NETGEAR switches, link a top-of-rack switch to a server with a 10G network card, or connect a backup server to a shared storage array. Many small offices and branch locations also choose this style of cable for cost-effective upgrades from 1 Gigabit to 10 Gigabit speeds.

NETGEAR engineers the AXC761-10000S for broad interoperability with NETGEAR managed and unmanaged switches that feature SFP+ slots, and it also follows industry standards so it can work with other vendors that support passive SFP+ DACs. A five-year limited warranty adds long-term confidence for deployments that need dependable uptime.
