Keeplink KP-9000-6XH-X2 / KP-9000-6XHML-X2

Following is documentation for switches marked as KP-9000-6XH-X2 or KP-9000-6XHML-X2.

Using SPI clamp in-board is the only method for initial installation.

Label specifications

  • Name: 4X 2.5G RJ45 Port + 2 X 10G SFP+ Port
  • Model: KP-9000-6XH-X2 / KP-9000-6XHML-X2
  • Ports:
    • 4 × RJ45: 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps
    • 2 × SFP+: 1000 / 2500 / 10000 Mbps

Machine target

These devices exist with different PCB revisions. Select the machine target by the PCB silkscreen, not by the label on the case. The 6XH / 6XHML distinction appears to be a stock firmware, SKU or label difference, not a reliable indicator of PCB wiring. The PCB revision defines the hardware layout.

The V1.1 and V1.2 boards currently use the same V1.x GPIO, SFP, port and LED layout. The V2.1 board uses a different V2.1 layout with custom LED muxing. Legacy targets are preserved for compatibility with already-tested devices, but new builds should prefer the explicit PCB-revision targets.

What works

  • All four 2.5GBASE-T RJ45 ports at 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps
  • SFP port with 10G modules
  • LEDs
  • untested due to missing Hardware: SFP+ ports equipped with 1G or 2.5G SFPs.

Hardware overview: 2M-PCB43-V1.1 / V1.2

The V1.1 board has been reported in the Mokerlink 2G040210GSM web-managed 4+2 switch. The V1.2 board has been seen in managed KP-9000-6XHML-X2 devices. Both use the same V1.x layout.

Reset Button

There's an unpopulated Reset button on the front left side of the PCB. It can easily be soldered, you'll need an 4.5mmx4.5mm 90° button switch with a 3-pin footprint. I got mine here: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005007295346702.html The front case has already the hole in the metal case, you just have to punch a hole through the foil.

Power supply

Input power is delivered via barell plug, 12V 1A adapter was provided.
