Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Modules
OmniSwitch 6624, 6600-U24, and 6648 switches support the following Gigabit Ethernet uplink modules:
• OS6600-GNI-C2 Copper Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Module
• OS6600-GNI-U2 Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Module
OS6600-GNI-U2
The OS6600-GNI-U2 Gigabit Ethernet uplink module provides two MiniGBIC bays that support
1000BASE-X MiniGBIC transceivers. Cable options include multimode, single mode, and long-reach
single mode fiber. The OS6600-GNI-U2 supports bi-directional wire speed switching on all ports simulta-
neously. Also, because it supports any combination of the three MiniGBIC options, this module offers a
flexible solution for various customer requirements.
This uplink module may be used to support multiple uplinks from the wiring closet switch to the Gigabit
Ethernet backbone links in the core. With the two MiniGBIC ports provided by the OS6600-GNI-U2, up
to 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports can be supported in a fully-loaded stacked configuration.
Note. For detailed information on MiniGBICs, including technical specifications and installation instruc-
tions, refer to
“Mini Gigabit Interface Converters (MiniGBICs)” on page 2-33 .

LINK/ACT LEDs
Each MiniGBIC port has a built-in corresponding LED. This LED
indicates the link and activity status for each MiniGBIC installed. The
LED displays green when a valid cable connection exists. Flashes
green as data is transmitted or received on the interface.
MiniGBIC Slots
The OS6600-GNI-U2 provides two universal MiniGBIC
ports for hot-pluggable MiniGBIC fiber transceivers. Mini-
GBIC options include multimode, single mode, and long-
reach single mode fiber. Refer to
“Mini Gigabit Interface
Converters (MiniGBICs)” on page 2-33 for more informa-
tion.
