Netgear ProSafe AXM761 SFP+ Module

Designed for modern, high-demand networks, the Netgear ProSafe AXM761 SFP+ Module delivers reliable 10 Gigabit performance in a compact, pluggable form factor. As a short-range SR (10GBASE-SR) transceiver, it uses an 850 nm VCSEL and an LC duplex connector to enable fast, cost-effective uplinks and inter-switch connections over multimode fiber. This plug-and-play SFP+ module is built to work with Netgear ProSafe devices and a wide range of SFP+-enabled switches and routers, delivering superb interoperability and straightforward deployment in data centers, campus networks, and enterprise edge environments. Whether you’re upgrading an existing backbone link or expanding a server-to-switch topology, AXM761 provides the bandwidth you need with minimal downtime and fuss.

• 10GBASE-SR performance with a compact SFP+ footprint for high-density deployments
• 850 nm VCSEL technology designed for short-range multimode fiber (MMF)
• LC duplex fiber optic connector for reliable, easy terminations
• MSA-compliant, plug-and-play capable with hot-swappable compatibility in many devices
• Optimized for enterprise and data-center uplinks, offering scalable bandwidth without complex reconfigurations
