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 piece of network equipment is shutdown, switches often remain on and continue to consume considerable amounts of power. With Green Ethernet technology, D-Link switches can automatically detect the link status and reduce power usage of ports that are idle. Computers or any connecting parties set to standby mode (not powered off), however, will not provide significant power savings.

Power Savings by Cable Length

D-Link's Green Ethernet switches have the ability to analyze the length of any connected Ethernet cable and automatically adjust the power usage accordingly. This adjustment therefore requires less power for shorter cable lengths.

Overall Daily Power Savings

For 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 40%* of the power used for each system.

*Switch uses switching power adapter. Cable length which PCs are connected to switch is 20 meters.

Get the blazing speed of Gigabit Ethernet with the D-Link GigaExpress DGS-1008D, an 8-port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Switch that delivers power, performance, and reliability in one cost-effective, space-saving design. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a reality.

Power users at home, in the office, workgroup, or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files across the network instantly.

Power-Packed

The D-Link DGS-1008D 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. Address learning and aging, 802.3x Flow Control for full duplex mode, and back pressure flow control for half-duplex mode alleviates traffic congestion and ensures reliable data transmission.

Designed using industry standards, it is compatible with virtually all 10, 100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices, including equipment from other vendors. The D-Link DGS-1008D protects your existing network investment while providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit network speeds.

Easy to use

The auto features of this gigabit switch makes installation truly 'plug and play' and hassle-free. No configuring is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance.

It also features diagnostic LEDs which display status and activity, allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network.

Note: Power savings may vary depending on your network usage, products used and environment.
