This new generation switch features the latest innovative energy-efficient technologies that can greatly expand your network capacity with much less power. It automatically adjusts power consumption according to the link status & cable length to limit the carbon footprint of your network. When a computer or network equipment is off, the corresponding port of a traditional switch will continue to consume considerable amounts of power. The TL-SG1008D automatically detects the link status of each port & reduces the power consumption of ports that are idle, resulting in an up to 80% reduction in power use.
