D-Link Green Technology

D-Link Green Technology implements special power-saving features under speeds
of 1000Mbps that detect cable length and link status, and will adjust power usage
accordingly. Green Technology saves energy in two specific ways:
1. If there is no link on a port (when there is no connection or the device
connected is turned off) the port(s) will enter a "sleep mode" which will
drastically reduce the amount of power used.
2. D-Link Green Technology detects the length of connected Ethernet cable and
adjusts power usage accordingly without affecting performance. This way, a
port connected to a 20m or under cable only uses as much power as it needs,
instead of using full power, which is only needed for 100m cables.
This product is IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficiency Ethernet compliant. The IEEE 802.3az
EEE standard defines mechanisms and protocols intended to reduce the energy
consumption of network links during periods of low utilization, by transitioning
interfaces into a low-power state without interrupting the network connection.
Both connected devices must support 802.3az EEE for power saving support. If the
connected device does not support 802.3az EEE, the switch will default to D-Link's
Green Technology of power saving.
