D-Link's 'Green Ethernet' Switches

The benefits of "Green Ethernet" technology include: saving of power when desktop-to-switches are idle, and optimization of power usage on detection of cable length.
D-Link India has unveiled its 'Green Ethernet' technology Gigabit
switches that help reduce power consumption, and save energy without compromising on functionality.
D-Link's 'Green Ethernet' technology implements special power-saving features that detect link status and cable length to adjust power usage. With 'Green Ethernet', power consumption of network devices can be greatly reduced, which means less heat dissipation, extended product life, and lower operating costs.
The key benefits of the technology include: saving of power when desktop-to-switches are idle, and optimization of power usage on detection of cable length.
Most switches by default send full power to fulfill a 100m cable reach, regardless of the cable length. However, the cable is typically less than 20m. In this scenario, D-Link's 'Green Ethernet' technology automatically detects cable length, and optimally adjusts power usage to save energy.
Also when users shut-down their computers at night, they rarely ever turn-off their switches, which continue to use considerable power. 'Green Ethernet' puts the port in a "sleep mode", thus reducing power used by the port, thus saving on power.
'Green Ethernet' is D-Link's eco-friendly answer to saving the earth's environment as part of the global warming alert.
D-Link's 'Green Ethernet' Gigabit switches are compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) since 2006, and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) since 2005 -- both implemented
across the European Union (EU) Member States.
The SOHO Gigabit switches are easy-to-use, and do not require extensive management or set-up. They are mainly targeted at Home/SOHO users, midsize networks, and branch office LANs.
