UPLINK - connecting to devices, Connecting to Core Switch, or downlink switches.
Normal or Access port- generally connect to end device like PC, Phone or printer.

That Switch has 8 x 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports as downlinks ("normal" or "standard ports") and for the uplinks it has 2 x 1G copper and 2 x 1G SFP ports (so total of 4 ports) for uplinks. All four uplink ports (the two copper and two fiber ports) can be used simultaneously.
