The 16-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Switch helps you conserve energy automatically through several methods. Link status detection automatically powers down ports that have no link, allowing the switches to save substantial amounts of power by cutting power usage for unused ports or any ports connected to computers that have been shut down. Meanwhile, Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) conserves energy by dynamically reducing power consumption when data activity is low. This environmentally friendly switch is also RoHS-compliant, uses recyclable packaging, and minimises the use of harmful substances. These green features combined, provide more energy savings and a longer product life, without sacrificing operational performance or functionality.
