From the Manufacturer
---------------------
From the Manufacturer The first of the Green Ethernet products
the DGS-2208 provides 3 key benefits to end users through its
cutting edge innovative 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 a 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 40%* power used for each
system. Note: Switch uses sw power adapter. The cable
length which PCs are connected to switch is 20m cables. Get the
blazing speed of Gigabit Ethernet with the D-Link DGS-2208, an
8-port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Switch that delivers power,
performance, and reliability in one cost-effective, space-saving
design. Increase the speed of your network server and back
connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a reality. Power
users in the home, 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. Power-Packed
The D-Link DGS-2208 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch features a
non-blocking sw architecture that filters and forwards
packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. An 8,000 MAC
address table provides scalability for even the largest networks.
Address learning and aging, 802.3x Flow Control for full duplex
mode, and back pressure flow control for half-duplex mode
alleviates traffic congestion and ensures reliable data
transmission. Designed using industry standards, it is compatible
with virtually all 10, 100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices and
other vendor equipment. The D-Link DGS-2208 10/100/1000 Mbps
Gigabit Switch protects your existing network investments while
providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster
Gigabit speeds. 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. * Power savings may vary depending on products used.
Maximum power savings when compared to a D-Link conventional
switch. Uses up to 80% less energy when connected devices are
powered down and up to 40% less energy when connected devices are
used 10 hours and powered down 14 hours over a 24-hour period,
when connected via 20 meter Ethernet cables. Green Ethernet
features available on hardware version C1 or later.
