Product Features
Technical Overview
The cable utilizes 10GBase-CU technology, which specifies 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper twinaxial cabling. This technology supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10Gbps, enabling high-bandwidth connections for data-intensive tasks such as server clustering, storage area networks, and backbone links.
The SFP+ connectors are hot-pluggable, allowing for easy installation and maintenance without network downtime. The cable is designed with a single port configuration, providing a direct point-to-point link between compatible devices.
This section brings together practical product details such as Application/Usage, Total Number of Ports, Interfaces/Ports Details, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
This direct attach cable simplifies network deployments by eliminating the need for separate optical transceivers and fiber patch cables. Its passive design reduces power consumption and heat generation compared to active cables, contributing to lower operational costs and improved reliability in dense network environments.
Cost-Effective Connectivity
Provides a more affordable alternative to fiber optic solutions for short-reach 10GbE connections, reducing overall infrastructure costs.
- No separate transceivers required
- Lower power consumption than active cables
Easy Deployment
Hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors enable quick installation and replacement without disrupting network operations.
- MSA compliant for broad compatibility
- TAA compliant for government use
Deployment / Use Cases
The AddOn AXC761-AO is ideal for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices within the same rack or adjacent cabinets. Its 1-meter length is perfect for top-of-rack switching configurations, where short connections between devices minimize cable clutter and improve airflow.
Common applications include linking 10GbE switches to servers in data centers, connecting network-attached storage arrays, and establishing high-speed links in enterprise network cores. The cable's TAA compliance makes it suitable for federal, state, and local government installations where regulatory requirements must be met.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect leaf and spine switches or link servers to top-of-rack switches for low-latency, high-throughput networking.
Storage Networking
Establish reliable connections between storage arrays and servers in SAN environments, supporting fast data access and backup operations.
Physical Profile
The cable has a compact form factor with dimensions of 9" (228.60 mm) in width, 12" (304.80 mm) in depth, and 0.75" (19.05 mm) in height, making it easy to route in confined spaces. Its lightweight design at approximately 3.20 oz (90.72 g) reduces strain on SFP+ ports and allows for flexible cable management in high-density installations.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this SFP+ cable?
The AddOn AXC761-AO SFP+ Direct Attach Cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbps using 10GBase-CU technology. This provides high-bandwidth connectivity suitable for data-intensive applications like server clustering and storage networking.
Is this cable compatible with my Netgear switches?
Yes, this cable is MSA compliant and compatible with MSA-compliant SFP+ ports. It is specifically listed as compatible with Netgear ProSafe switches including the GSM7328FS, GS752TXS, and M7300 series. Always verify compatibility with your specific switch model before purchase.
What does TAA compliant mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this cable meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products originating from designated countries. This makes it suitable for federal, state, and local government purchases where TAA compliance is mandated.
How does a passive twinax cable differ from an active optical cable?
A passive twinax cable like the AXC761-AO uses copper conductors without signal amplification, resulting in lower power consumption and cost compared to active optical cables. It's ideal for short distances (typically up to 7m) while active optical cables use optics for longer reaches but require more power.
What is the warranty period for this direct attach cable?
The AddOn AXC761-AO comes with a 3-year limited warranty. This provides coverage against defects in materials and workmanship, offering peace of mind for enterprise deployments where reliability is critical.
Can this cable be used for 1GbE connections?
No, this cable is specifically designed for 10GbE (10 Gigabit Ethernet) connections using 10GBase-CU technology. It is not backward compatible with 1GbE SFP ports. For 1GbE connections, you would need a different cable or transceiver solution.
