10GBASE-X SFP+ Ports
To enable high-speed fiber and long-distance connections on the switch, SFP+ fiber ports accommodate
standard 10G and 1G SFP+ transceiver modules, which are sold separately.
The switch supports the following NETGEAR ProSAFE SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules and cables:S
• Short reach transceiver modules:
- AGM731F SFP transceiver 1000BASE-SX, SFP multimode LC GBIC
- AGM734 SFP transceiver 1000BASE-T, SFP copper RJ-45 GBIC
- AXM761 SFP+ transceiver 10GBASE-SR, SFP+ multimode LC GBIC
• Long reach transceiver modules: - AGM732F SFP transceiver 1000BASE-LX, SFP single mode LC
GBIC - AXM762 SFP+ transceiver 10GBASE-LR, SFP+ single mode LC GBIC - AXM764 SFP+
transceiver 10GBASE-LR Lite, SFP+ single mode LC GBIC
• Cables: - AXC761 SFP+ 1m direct attach cable - AXC763 SFP+ 3m direct attach cable

RJ-45 Ports, Including 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Ports
All copper RJ-45 ports support autosensing. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or 10 Gbps) and duplex mode
(half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a Category 5 (Cat 5) unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable or higher rated Ethernet cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink technology.This
technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or crossover cables.
For 10GBASE-T ports, Ethernet specifications limit a Category 6 (Cat 6) cable length
between the switch and the attached device to 328 feet (100 meters).
Note
When you insert a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically performs the following actions:
• Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
• Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such as when you
are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as when you are connecting the
port to a router, switch, or hub).
• Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device.The Auto
Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections while eliminating concern about whether
to use crossover or straight-through cables when you attach devices.
USB Port
The switch provides one USB 2.0 port that lets you upgrade firmware from a disk, back up the configuration
to a storage device, and allow for the collection of a memory dump for debugging purposes.
A device that you attach to the USB port must comply with the following requirements:
