D-Link DGS-2208 Overview:
Product Features:
- Green Ethernet Technology
- 16Gbps Switching Capacity
- Desktop or Wall-Mount Design
-
Non-blocking Architecture
Product Description:
The DGS-2208 provides three key
benefits through its cutting edge,
innovative D-Link Green eco-friendly
technology:
- Reduces power consumption & creates less heat
- Extended product life
- Reduces Operating Costs
Power Savings by Number of Connected Ports and Link Status
Computers do not require Internet access all the time; neither do switches utilize all ports at all times. When a computer
or network equipment is shutdown, switches often remain on and continue to consume considerable amount of power. With Green
Ethernet technology, D-Link switches can automatically detect link status and reduce power usage of ports that are idle. Computers
or any connecting parties set to standby mode (not power off), however, will not provide significant power savings.
Power Savings by Cable Length
The Green Ethernet switches have the ability to analyze the length of any Ethernet cable connected to them for adjustment of power usage accordingly. Shorter lengths require less power.
Overall Power Savings Per Day
For a traditional switch, power consumption remains constant even when the ports are not in use. In a standard workday scenario where PCs are
used for 10 hours a day and powered off 14 hours a day, and connected to the switch using 20 meter cables, D-Link's Green Ethernet can save up
to 40%* power used for each system.
Get the blazing speed of Gigabit Ethernet with the D-Link DGS-2208, an 8-port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Switch that delivers power, performance, and reliability in one cost-effective, space-saving design.
Increase the speed of your network server and backbone connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a reality.
Power users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files across the network instantly.
Power-Packed
The D-Link DGS-2208 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch features a non-blocking switching architecture that filters and forwards packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. An 8,000 MAC address table provides
scalability for even the largest networks. Address learning and aging, 802.3x Flow Control for full duplex mode, and back pressure flow control for half-duplex mode alleviates traffic congestion and ensures reliable
data transmission.
Designed using industry standards, it is compatible with virtually all 10, 100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices and other vendor equipment. The D-Link DGS-2208 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch protects your existing
network investments while providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds.
Easy to use
The auto features of this gigabit switch make installation plug and play and hassle-free. No configuring is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cables or uplink ports.
Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance.
It also features diagnostic LEDs which display status and activity, allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network.
Think Green
D-Link Green devices provide
eco-friendly alternatives without compromising
performance. They are designed to help conserve
energy, protect our environment from harmful
substances, and reduce waste by using recyclable
packaging.
Conserving Energy:
- Ports that have no link are automatically
powered down
- Power levels are automatically managed from
connected cable lengths
- Energy Star qualified power adapter reduces
power consumption
Protecting the Environment:
- Complies with the European Union's RoHS
directive that restricts the use of certain
hazardous materials
- Uses recyclable packaging to help reduce
waste that goes into the environment
* Power savings may vary depending on products used.
Maximum power savings when compared to a D-Link conventional switch. Uses up to 80% less energy when connected devices are powered down
and up to 40% less energy when connected devices are used 10 hours and powered down 14 hours over a 24-hour period, when connected via
20 meter Ethernet cables.
Green Ethernet features available on hardware version
C1 or later.
