The following describes the meaning of a Combo port:
Take S5012G Ethernet Switch as an example, Combo GBIC port (numbered 9+) and its
corresponding 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port (numbered 9) are optional in optical
or electronic type. The user can select one from them according to real networking
environment. But these two ports cannot work simultaneously. Besides, only the
Ethernet port is in the valid operating state when the two ports are all connected. In the
same way, for the switch S5012T-12/10GBC, Combo RJ45 port and its corresponding
GBIC port are also optional in optical or electronic type. Only the Combo RJ45 port is in
the valid operating state when the two ports are connected.

GBIC is a kind of hot-swappable data communication connector.
Note:
S5012G and S5012G-DC switches share similar structures, except for their power
sockets. Unless otherwise specified, S5012G is introduced as a representative.
For the same reason, S5012T is introduced as a representative of S5012T-12/10GBC
and S5012T-12/10GBC-DC; S5024G is introduced as a representative of
S5024G-24/20TP and S5024G-24/20TP-DC.
