Optimal Solution for Energy Savings and Gigabit High Performance
PLANET GSD-503 Green Networking Switch is specially designed to meet the
current trend for energy savings worldwide. The GSD-503, a 5-port Gigabit
Ethernet Switch, brings both benefits of energy savings and Gigabit wire speed
performance to home networking, SOHOs and enterprises.
Energy Savings
The GSD-503 incorporates two advanced Green Networking technologies and is able
to provide power savings of up to 40% but maintains high performance efciently.
(1) Hibernation Link Down power saving
The Hibernation Link Down power saving goes beyond IEEE specifications to
automatically lower power for a given port when it is not linked. With the Hibernation
Link Down power saving technology, the GSD-503 will automatically adjust power
usage of the ports that are shut down or not connected to network device.
(2) Intelligent use of power based on cable length
Intelligent use of power uses an intelligent algorithm that actively determines the
appropriate power level based on cable length. When the GSD-503 is connected
with Ethernet cable shorter than 20m, a device can obtain maximum power savings
because the GSD-503 would automatically detect the Ethernet cable length and
diminish power usage. The connected device can substantially reduce the overall
power consumption, which makes a signicant contribution to energy savings.
