Plug and play simplicity shouldn’t break the bank:
Get the new Plug and Play DAC Cables at a lower price than fiber transceivers.

 Introducing new Active and Optical DAC versions of 5-, 7-, 10-, 15- and 20-meter Direct Attach SFP+ cables for 10G network cabling between SFP+ devices. Give your business this low-latency, energy-efficient and low-cost cabling solution -- PLUS a 5-year Hardware Warranty.

 SFP+ Direct Attach Cables integrate SFP+ compatible active connectors with a copper twin-axial cable, or a duplex fiber optic cable into a low-latency, energy-efficient and low-cost cabling solution. DAC cables are available in several lengths up to 20 meters (33 ft) and are currently the best cabling option for short runs of 10 Gigabit Ethernet between SFP+ switches and SFP+ endpoints (servers, storage).

Compatible with all NETGEAR switches equipped with SFP+ 10-Gigabit ports! Gigabit switches with 10G uplinks, 10-Gigabit switches and 5-Speed 10-Gigabit / Multi-Gigabit switches including:
• Fully Managed switches (M4200, M4300, M6100; previous M5300, M7100, M7300)
• Insight Managed Smart Cloud switches (GC728X, GS728XP)
• Smart Managed Pro switches (MS510TX, MS510TXPP, S3300, XS708T, XS712Tv2, XS716T, XS728T, XS748T; previous GS752TXS)
• Smart Managed Plus switches (XS708Ev2, XS512EM, XS716E, XS724EM)
• Unmanaged switches (XS505M, XS508M)

I am planing to run a DAC cable from my router to my closet Where The switch will be at. It’s about 25ft. Will the AXC7620-10000s Cable be compatible with the Nighthawh X10 router and GC728x switch?

Is it the AXM761-10000s or AXM763-10000s

[LaurentMa]

@P-Dog This should work nicely between the Nighthawk X10 WiFi router SFP+ port, and the Insight Managed Smart Cloud switch GS728X SFP+ port. You can select the 10-meter version for 25 feet distance, or 15-meter, or 20-meter as you see fit.

Such DAC cable isn't made of real SFP+ fiber transceivers: instead, their connectors are SFP+ compatible and recognized as DAC by the endpoints.

I hope this helps!

Thank you LaurentMa, not sure if you would be able to help me with this. But do you know which out of these two 10G Transceiver are compatible with the X10 router and the GC728x switch?
Is it the AXM761-10000s or AXM763-10000s

The difference is not in the compatibility,it's about the wavelength - you can deploy all these to the X10 and the GC728X. The AXM761 is optimised for multimode 50/125µm OM3 (up to 300 meters) or OM4 (up to 550 meters) fiber [Laser], while the AXM763 is optimised for multimode 62.5/125µm OM1/OM2 (up to 220 meters) [850/1300nm]. Both can drive the other fiber standard, the reach will be limited.
