SFP+ not getting link on M4250

Hello! I'm trying to connect two M4250 switches via SFP+ using two AXM761 multi mode fiber modules.

The modules are correctly shown in the Port Transceiver page of the switch and marked as supported, but when I connect the cable I cannot establish a link between the two ports. Link status remains down as if the cable is disconnected.

Already tried another cable and also other transceivers (same model).

Am I missing any configuration steps?
Thanks for your help!

    Really Netgear AXM761 SFP+ modules, or much more OEM modules with a Cisco-like SFP-10G-SR model designation in the module FLASH config?
