Power Savings by Number of
Connected Ports and Link Status
Computers do not require Internet access all the time, neither do
switches utilize all ports at all times. When a computer or network
equipment is shutdown, switches often remain on and continue to
consume considerable amount of power. With Green Ethernet
technology, D-Link switches can automatically detect link status and
reduce power usage of ports that are idle. Computers or any
connecting parties set to standby mode, however, will not provide
significant power savings.
Power Savings by Cable Length
The Green Ethernet
switches have the ability to analyze the length of any Ethernet
cable connected to them for adjustment of power usage accordingly.
Shorter lengths require less power.
Overall Power Savings Per Day
For a
traditional switch, power consumption remains constant even when the
ports are not in use. In a typical office scenario, PCs are usually
used for about 10 hours a day, with remaining power-off time about
14 hours a day. Cables connected to the switch are usually less than
20 meters. Based on such a configuration, up to 40%* of power usage
for each system can be saved with D-Link's Green Ethernet DGS-1008D
switch.
Power-Packed
D-Link
DGS-1008D 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch features a non-blocking
switching architecture that filters and forwards packets at full
wire-speed for maximum throughput. An 8,000 MAC address table
provides scalability for even the largest networks, and with address
learning and aging, 802.3x flow control for full duplex mode, and
back pressure flow control for half-duplex mode, traffic congestion
can be alleviated to ensure reliable data transmission.
Designed using
industry standards, the DGS-1008D is compatible with virtually all
10, 100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices, including equipment from
other vendors. The D-Link DGS-1008D 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch
protects existing network investments and provides a
straight-forward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds.
Easy to use
With various
automatic features incorporated in this Gigabit switch, installation
is practically plug and play and hassle-free, with no extensive
configuration required. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports
eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports
recognition. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of
a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently
adjusts itself for optimal performance.
