“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 10m cable only uses as much power as it needs, instead of using full power, which is only needed for 100m cables. - Page 9 Dividing a LAN into multiple segments is one of the most common ways of increasing available bandwidth. If segmented correctly, most network traffic will remain within a single segment, enjoying the full-line speed bandwidth of that segment. D-Link DGS-2208 User Manual...
