The Netgear AXLC762-10000S is a high-performance 40G QSFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for short-distance, high-bandwidth interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks. With a length of 2 meters (6.6 feet), this cable provides a cost-effective and low-latency alternative to expensive optical transceivers and fiber patch cables for 40 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Featuring hot-swappable QSFP+ connectors on both ends, this twinaxial copper cable supports data rates up to 40 Gbps and is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-CR4 standard and SFF-8436 industry specifications. It is optimized for high-density 40G connections between switches, routers, and servers, particularly within Netgear's managed switch ecosystem. The passive design ensures minimal power consumption and maximum reliability for critical network infrastructure.

The AXLC762-10000S is part of Netgear's specialized line of high-speed interconnects. It is specifically engineered to handle the demands of 40Gbps networking without the need for active electronics, resulting in near-zero power consumption and reduced heat generation. This cable is ideal for top-of-rack or end-of-row switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections where distance does not exceed 2 meters. While currently categorized as an End-of-Service (EOS) product by Netgear, it remains a critical component for maintaining legacy high-speed network stacks.
