NETGEAR AXC761 1 m Passive SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable (10G DAC)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
NETGEAR AXC761 ProSAFE 1 m Passive SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (AXC761-10000S) - 5 Years Local Warranty
1 m of 10 Gigabit Cabling Between SFP+ Devices
The NETGEAR AXC761 is a 1-meter passive Direct Attach Cable (DAC) with an SFP+ connector on each end, joined by copper twin-axial cable. NETGEAR positions it for 10G network cabling between SFP+ devices — network switches, servers and storage — and it suits top-of-rack links where the switch, server or storage array sit in the same or adjacent rack units.
Replaces Two Transceivers and a Fibre Patch
Because the SFP+ connectors are built onto the cable, the AXC761 replaces a pair of SFP+ transceivers and the fibre between them. NETGEAR describes the DAC range as a low-latency, energy-efficient and low-cost cabling solution for short 10 Gigabit uplinks.
Ultra-Low Latency for Servers, Storage and Switches
NETGEAR rates its SFP+ DAC cables as offering ultra-low latency for short 10 Gigabit links between servers, storage and switches. The AXC761 is listed by NETGEAR as a supported cable (10GSFP+ Cu, passive, SFP+ to SFP+) for NETGEAR switches such as the M7100 series and the XS505M / XS508M.
Pick the Right Length
The passive DAC comes in 1 m (AXC761) and 3 m (AXC763) lengths. For longer runs, NETGEAR offers the AXC7610 active 10 m copper DAC and the AXC7620 20 m active optical cable, or you can use SFP+ optics with fibre.

Compatibility & Software Support
Supported Devices
For 10G network cabling between SFP+ ports on network switches, servers and storage. NETGEAR lists the AXC761 as a supported SFP+ Direct Attach Cable in the M7100 series datasheet and in its XS505M / XS508M compatibility article.
Management
No software or configuration is required — the cable plugs straight into the SFP+ port on each device.
Alternatives for Longer Runs
Where a copper DAC is too short, use a pair of SFP+ optics over fibre: AXM761-10000S (10GBASE-SR, multimode, up to 300 m on OM3) or AXM762-10000S (10GBASE-LR, single mode, up to 10 km).

Frequently Asked Questions — NETGEAR AXC761
Is the AXC761 active or passive?
Passive. It is a copper twin-axial cable with an SFP+ connector on each end.
Do I need SFP+ transceivers as well?
No. The SFP+ connectors are part of the cable, so the AXC761 replaces the two transceivers and the fibre patch between them.
What length is it?
1-meter (3.3 ft). The AXC763 is the 3 m version; for 10 m NETGEAR offers the active AXC7610, and for 20 m the AXC7620 active optical cable.
Can I use it to connect a server to a switch?
Yes — NETGEAR designs the AXC761 for 10G links between SFP+ devices including switches, servers and storage. Both ends need an SFP+ port.
What warranty do I get?
5 years local warranty in Singapore, supplied by SourceIT with a GST invoice.
