D-Link 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch

The first of the Green Ethernet products the DGS-1016D provides 3 key benefits to end users through its cutting edge innovative eco-friendly technology Reduces power consumption & creates less heat Extended product life Reduces Operating CostsPower Savings by Number of Connected Ports and Link StatusComputers 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 (not power off). however. will not provide significant power savings.Power Savings by Cable LengthThe 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 DayFor a traditional switch. power consumption remains constant even when the ports are not in use. In a standard workday scenario where PCs are used for 10 hours a day and powered off 14 hours a day. and connected to the switch using 20 meter cables. D-Link's Green Ethernet can save up to 20% power used for each system.Get the blazing speed of Gigabit Ethernet with the D-Link GigaExpress DGS-1016D. an 16-port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Switch that delivers power. performance. and reliability in one cost-effective. space-saving design.
