GNI Modules
The Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface (GNI) modules
provide up to twelve 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) connections per
module. GNI modules can be used for backbone connections
in networks where Gigabit Ethernet is used as the backbone
media. GNI modules can also be used in the wiring closet for
connections to workstations and other devices.
