Overview
The first of the Green Ethernet products the DGS-1008A provides 3
key benefits to end users through its cutting edge innovative 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
shutdown, switches often remain on and continue to consume considerable amount
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 switching 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-1008A, an 8-port 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-1008A 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-1008A 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.
