Description
Although this may look
like your average switch, it's not. This is a (drumroll, please) green
switch, which is as good for your wallet as it is for the environment.
The DGS-2205 features
innovative D-Link Green eco-friendly 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 shut down, switches often remain on and continue to consume
considerable amounts of power. With D-Link Green 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
D-Link Green verified 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 Green Technology can save up to
27%* power used for each system.
Note: Switch uses
switching power adapter. The cable length which PCs are connected to
switch is 20m cables.
The D-Link DGS-2205 is
a 5-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 backbone 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-2205 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch features a
non-blocking switching 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-2205 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.
The switch 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 44% less energy when connected devices are powered down and
up to 27% 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.
D-Link Green Technology features available on hardware version B1 or
later. |
