GREENCONNECT
Your OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch employs a number of
initiatives to ensure your product uses the least amount of
power possible:
1. High Efficiency Power Adapter
The Power Adapter is a model especially designed to meet
the Energy Star requirements for operating efficiency and
™
also very low standby power when not connected to the
switch. These two features ensures your power adapter now
uses substantially less power than a conventional linear
adapter.
2. Energy Saving Modes
Your OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch employs the latest tech-
nology to minimise the amount of power it consumes. It uses
the latest 65nm silicon to deliver the lowest operating power,
and in addition uses features which under normal operating
conditions ensures your switch uses the least amount of
power.
When a port on the switch is not connected to a cable, or the
link partner is turned off or removed, the switch reduces the
power on that port until it is connected again.
You can be confident that your Switch will be taking the least
amount of power but still providing the performance that you
have come to expect from OfficeConnect.
