D-Link adds 'Green Ethernet' technology to SOHO switches

Business IT - Technology

D-Link claims to have become the first networking company to introduce 'Green Ethernet' technology to SOHO switches.
Green Ethernet technology conserves energy by recognising when a port is active or inactive to adjust its power accordingly, thus offering benefits to Home and SOHO users who use their computers and the ports on their switches only infrequently.

The products are also capable of altering the power usage according to the length of its cable thus further conserving power without compromising performance, especially in a home or home office where cable runs are typically shorter than in an enterprise facility.

Also, when a computer is shut down, switches often remain on and continue to consume considerable amount of power. With Green Ethernet technology switches detect when a computer is turned off, and go into standby mode to conserve power.

D-Link says the new products reinforce its commitment to protecting the environment through the development of products that comply with European Union's RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives. RoHS directives restrict the use of specific hazardous materials during the manufacture of electrical and electronic goods, while WEEE applies standards for proper disposal and recycling of products.
