ITEM# DGS-2205

Description: The first Green Ethernet technology on the market the DGS-2205 features innovative eco-friendly technology
  • Reduces power consumption & creates less heat
  • Extended product life
  • Reduces Operating Costs

    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 (not power off), 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 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 27%* power used for each system.

    Easy to use
    The auto features of this gigabit switch make installation plug and play and hassle-free. No configuring is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminate 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.
