Mini Gigabit Interface Converters (MiniGBICs)
Mini Gigabit Interface Converters (MiniGBICs) are fiber-based Gigabit Ethernet transceivers for use with 
OS6600-GNI-U2 uplink modules on OmniSwitch 6624, 6600-U24, 6600-P24, and 6648 switches and the 
built-in MiniGBIC ports on OmniSwitch 6602-24 and 6602-48 switches. MiniGBICs are interchangeable 
and hot-swappable, thus providing users an easy, flexible solution for adapting OS6600 Family switches 
to different physical interfaces types.
Alcatel offers three MiniGBIC options:
• MiniGBIC-SX: 1000BASE-SX short-haul
• MiniGBIC-LX: 1000BASE-LX long-haul
• MiniGBIC-LH-70: 1000BASE-LH extra long-haul
All MiniGBIC types support bi-directional wire-speed switching. For additional technical specifications 
on all three MiniGBIC types, refer to

Note. For OS6624, OS6600-U24, OS6600-P24, and OS6648 switches, MiniGBICs can be used on 
OS6600-GNI-U2 uplink modules only. For detailed information on OS6600-GNI-U2 uplink modules,
