The Conrad gigabit switch saves power efficiently & meets the energy efficient Ethernet-Standard. This succeeds among other things by the monitoring of the emerging data volumes within the network, depending on load the power consumption is regulated. In addition, the switch has a Link-Active detection, not occupied LAN-ports can be switched dead. Innovative & energy-saving is the length measurement for connected network cables. Here, for example short cables with less transmission power can be controlled. With a transmission rate of up to 1000 MBit/s, the switch is ideal for the copying large amounts of data over the network. All ports support automatic uplink detection. This means you don't need a criss-cross cable if you want to connect it to your router or another switch.
