Think Green The DGS-108 is a plug-&-play networking switch that features D-Links Green Technology to save energy & reduce heat which in turn extends product life without sacrificing performance or functionality. The switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) which can detect when a connected computer is shut down or when there is no Ethernet traffic & will proceed to power down the idle port saving a substantial amount of power. In addition the switch can also save energy by detecting the length of cable connected to a port & use only as much power as is required. Both of these features work together to help you save power automatically. Environmentally Friendly The switch was designed with the environment in mind. It is compliant with Energy Star Level V CEC & MEPS regulations which require the use of energy efficient power adapters. The switch is built to comply with Ro HS standards to minimize use of hazardous materials & is packaged with an Energy Star Level V qualified power adapter in a recyclable packaging making this product truly environmental friendly. IEEE 802.1p Qo S Qo S prioritizes network traffic so that time-sensitive data is delivered efficiently even during bursts of high data traffic. This helps ensure an optimal experience for streaming media Vo IP calls & online gaming.
