Transceivers and DACs for NETGEAR M4300 switches
Most M4300 models are now end of life at NETGEAR, but a large installed base is still running. Every M4300 fibre port listed here is a 10G SFP+ cage, so these switches take Plusoptic 10G SFP+ transceivers and DACs.

Questions
Which transceiver do I need for a NETGEAR M4300-8X8F?
The M4300-8X8F (XSM4316S) has 8 x 10G SFP+ ports. It takes the Plusoptic 10G SFP+ parts listed on this page, chosen by fibre type and distance.
Can I still get transceivers for an end-of-life M4300?
Yes. The M4300 uses standard 10G SFP+ cages, and Plusoptic 10G SFP+ modules and DACs are direct equivalents of the NETGEAR AXM and AXC parts.
Are Plusoptic transceivers approved by NETGEAR?
Yes. Plusoptic 25G, 40G and 100G transceivers, DACs and DAC breakout cables have been tested and approved by NETGEAR's global QA laboratory for the M4250, M4300, M4350 and M4500 switch families. Plusoptic 1G and 10G modules are direct equivalents of the NETGEAR AGM and AXM part numbers listed on this page.
What warranty do Plusoptic transceivers carry?
A 3-year advance replacement warranty.
Where can I buy Plusoptic transceivers for NETGEAR switches?
Plusoptic sells only through its distributors and network integrator partners, never direct. Resellers and integrators can open a trade account at plusoptic.co.uk.
