D-Link 16-Port Green Ethernet Copper Gigabit Switch

Product Description

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 & continue to consume considerable amount of power. With Green Ethernet technology, D-Link switches can automatically detect link status & 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. 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. 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 & powered off 14 hours a day, & 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 Giga Express DGS-1016D, a 16-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch that delivers power, performance, & reliability in one cost-effective, space-saving design. Increase the speed of your network server & backbone connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a reality. Power users 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. The versatile & compact 1RU height design of the DGS-1016D enables the device to be rackmounted in a standard 19 inch rack, while conserving valuable rack space. It features a non-blocking switching architecture that filters & forwards packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. An 8K MAC address table provides scalability for even the largest networks. Address learning & aging, 802.3x Flow Control for full-duplex mode, & back pressur
