Uplink Ports vs Normal Ports

Hi All

Let's say we have two types of switches:

1. WS-C2960-24TC-L (Uplinks - 2 Dual Purpose) 24Gb ports + 2 dual purpose uplinks

2. WS-C2960-24-S (Uplinks - None) 24Gb ports

Edit: I've given a wrong models.

Questions:

1. Is there any major difference between the uplink and "normal" ports on these switches?

2. Are the ports called "uplink" because we can plug SFP and use fiber (this is how I understend Dual Purpose)?

3. What will be a difference if I use Cat cable and ports 23 and 24 (etherchannel) to connect 2 x 24-S 1st type and 2 x 24TC-L 2nd type?

4. Do you know a website link which shows more info that this one: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6406/prod_models_comparison.html

Thanks.

Marcin.
