D-Link Green Ethernet Technology Introduction D-Link Green Ethernet Technology implements special power-saving features under speed at 1000Mbps that detect cable length and link status and adjust power usage accordingly. Green Ethernet 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 Ethernet Technology detects the length of connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power usage accordingly without affecting performance. This way, a port connected to a 20m cable only uses as much power as it needs, instead of using full power, which is only needed for 100m cables. 7
