D-Link is constantly striving to take the lead in developing innovative technology that allows for power-saving without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. The D-Link DGS-1210-28P Gigabit WebSmart Switch automatically detects the length of connected cables and can adjust power usage by saving energy on shorter cable connections of up to 20 meters. Link status drastically reduces power consumption by automatically toggling ports without a link to sleep mode. The DGS-1210 series takes the approach to green IT one step further by incorporating a special chipset with advanced silicon technology.
