Netgear AXC763-10000S Sfp+ Direct Attach Cable

Product Description

The NETGEAR AXC763-10000S is a 3-meter SFP+ Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for high-speed network connections between SFP+ compatible switches, routers, and server network interface cards. This passive copper twinax cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet throughput with minimal latency, making it a practical choice for short-range, high-bandwidth links inside a rack or between adjacent racks in a data center or server room environment. Network technicians and IT infrastructure professionals install this cable as a cost-effective alternative to fiber optic transceivers for intra-rack and inter-rack 10GbE deployments.

The AXC763-10000S is suited for structured cabling and direct switch-to-server connections in enterprise, SMB, and industrial network environments. It is designed for use in data centers, server closets, and network equipment rooms where a 3-meter reach is sufficient. Compatible equipment includes any device with standard SFP+ ports supporting 10GbE DAC connections. This cable ships as a single unit and is ready to install without additional transceivers or adapters.

Key Features

• 3-meter passive copper twinax construction for low-latency 10GbE links
• SFP+ form factor on both ends for direct switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections
• No external power required — passive design draws power from the host port
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward procurement and inventory tracking
• Cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for short-range connections

Compatibility

Designed for use with network switches, routers, and server NICs equipped with standard SFP+ ports supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet direct attach copper connections.

Installation Notes

SFP+ DAC cables are installed by network technicians and IT infrastructure professionals. Power down or administratively disable the SFP+ port before seating or removing the cable to avoid interface errors. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius and is routed with adequate slack to prevent stress on the connector housing. Follow local structured cabling standards and any applicable data center cable management guidelines.
