Product Information
Full details
This Netgear SFP+ DirectAttach cable (AXC761-10000S) is designed for users requiring a reliable, short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection. Its primary benefit is plug-and-play simplicity for direct connections between compatible network devices. A key consideration is its fixed 1m length, limiting its use to very close proximity setups. This cable features SFP+ connectors on both ends, enabling high-speed data transfer over copper, ideal for switch-to-switch or server-to-switch links within the same rack.

FAQs
What is the maximum distance this cable supports?
The Netgear SFP+ DirectAttach cable is designed for a maximum distance of 1 meter.
Is this cable active or passive?
This is a passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable. It does not require external power.
Can I use this cable for Gigabit Ethernet?
While it is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, it may auto-negotiate down to 1 Gigabit Ethernet on some devices, but its intended use is for 10Gbps speeds.
What is the difference between SFP+ and SFP?
SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) is an enhanced version of SFP designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, whereas SFP is typically for 1 Gigabit Ethernet. They are not directly interchangeable without specific support.
Does this cable require drivers?
No, this is a passive cable connection. Drivers are not required for the cable itself; driver support is handled by the network interface card or switch port on your connected devices.
Can I cut this cable to a shorter length?
It is not recommended to cut or modify the cable, as this will damage the internal conductors and render it non-functional.
Troubleshooting
No network connection detected
Ensure the SFP+ connectors are fully seated in the ports on both devices. Verify that both devices and their respective SFP+ ports are powered on and configured correctly for 10Gbps operation. Try a different SFP+ port on each device.
Intermittent connectivity or packet loss
Check the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the cable is not tightly bent or stressed. Clean the SFP+ connectors on both the cable and the device ports. Test with a different SFP+ cable if available.
Device shows SFP+ module error
This cable is a direct-attach copper cable and does not contain a transceiver module. If the device reports an error, the issue might be with the SFP+ port itself or the device's compatibility with passive DAC cables. Consult your device's manual or manufacturer support.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a stable and reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection.
- SFP+ connectors offer easy plug-and-play installation.
- Cost-effective solution for short-distance network links.
- Low power consumption compared to optical transceivers.
- Supports InfiniBand for versatile networking.
Cons
- Fixed 1-meter length limits deployment flexibility.
- Not suitable for long-distance connections.
- Requires compatible SFP+ ports on both connected devices.
- Copper cable may be less durable than fiber in harsh environments.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both network devices (e.g., switch, server NIC) have available SFP+ ports.
- Gently insert one SFP+ connector into an available port on the first device until it clicks into place.
- Insert the other SFP+ connector into an available port on the second device until it clicks.
- Power on the devices. The connection should be automatically detected.
Compatibility:
- This cable is designed for devices with standard SFP+ ports.
- Compatible with 10 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols.
- Verify that the SFP+ ports on your devices support Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables.
Care:
- Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable, as this can damage the internal conductors.
- Keep connectors clean. If necessary, use a specialized fiber optic or electronic connector cleaning tool. Do not use general-purpose cleaning cloths.
- Protect the cable from physical stress and extreme temperatures. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
