Think Green
The DGS-105/DGS-108 is a plug-and-play networking switch that oers
D-Link’s Green Technology to save energy and reduce heat, which in turn
extends product life without sacricing performance or functionality. The
switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Ecient Ethernet (EEE) which detects
when a connected computer is shut down or when there is no Ethernet
trac, at which time the switch will automatically power down the idle
port, saving a substantial amount of power. In addition, the switch can
also save energy by detecting the cable length and using only as much
power as necessary. Working together these features drastically reduce
power consumption and heat dissipation, resulting in extended life and
substantial cost savings.
IEEE 802.1p QoS
QoS prioritizes network trac so that time-sensitive data is delivered eciently,
even during bursts of high data trac. This helps ensure an optimal experience
for streaming media and VoIP calls.
Environmentally Friendly
The DGS-105/DGS-108 Switch was designed with the environment in mind.
It is compliant with Energy Star Level V, CEC, and MEPS regulations which
require the use of energy ecient power adapters. Built to comply with RoHS
standards to minimize use of hazardous materials and is packaged with an
EnergyStar Level V qualied power adapter all in a recyclable packaging
making this product truly environmental friendly.
Cable Diagnostics Function
The D-Link Cable Diagnostics Function enables users to be instantly aware
of cable conditions through the LED display on the front-panel. Users can
determine whether the pin connections of their cable connectors are
correct, facilitating prompt network troubleshooting if required.
