The OS6600-GNI-C2 Gigabit Ethernet uplink module provides two fixed 1000BASE-T (copper) connec-
tions. This uplink module supports bi-directional wire speed switching on all ports simultaneously and 
offers a flexible solution for Gigabit Ethernet-over-copper applications.

The OS6600-GNI-C2 uplink module supports multiple uplinks from the wiring closet to Gigabit Ethernet 
backbone links in the core. With the two RJ-45 ports on this uplink module, upto 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports 
can be supported in a fully loaded stackable configuration.

LINK/ACT LEDs
Each RJ-45 port has a built-in corresponding LED. This LED indi-
cates the link and activity status for each Gigabit Ethernet copper
port. The LED displays green when a valid cable connection exists.
Flashes green as data is transmitted or received on the interface.
