NETGEAR AXM765 10G SFP+ to RJ45 Transceiver

The NETGEAR AXM765-20000S is a 10G SFP+ to RJ45 transceiver that lets you add high speed copper connectivity to any compatible switch or router. By sliding it into an open SFP+ slot you instantly transform that port into a standard RJ45 interface, ready for Cat 6a or Cat 7 cabling and data rates up to 10 Gb/s.

This approach is ideal when running fiber is not practical or when existing copper runs are already in place. With support for cable lengths up to 262.5 feet it handles typical rack-to-rack links, short campus runs, or workstation uplinks without signal loss. Power draw stays low at roughly 2.5 watts, so you can populate several ports without overloading the switch’s power budget or adding noticeable heat.

The module is tested for seamless operation in NETGEAR managed switch families such as M4250, M4300, and M4500. Network administrators can therefore introduce 10-gig performance incrementally, mixing fiber and copper as needed while keeping a single vendor for firmware, support, and warranty.

Typical users include creative studios moving large media files, education labs that need fast server access, and home lab enthusiasts who want to push virtual machines or NAS appliances beyond one gigabit. Hot-swap capability means you can install or replace the transceiver without shutting down the switch, minimizing downtime during upgrades.

The housing is compact and it weighs only 0.5 oz, so it fits any standard SFP+ cage without strain. A five-year manufacturer warranty rounds out the package and offers long-term peace of mind.
