D-link DGS 1005D 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The DGS-1005D (Green Ethernet version) is a 5-port unmanaged Gigabit switch that consumes less energy than conventional switches of the same specification. This switch reacts when a device attached to it is turned off, by placing the corresponding port in a standby mode that requires less power. In addition, the switch is able to detect the Ethernet cable length and adjust power usage accordingly, hence saving any surplus power that would otherwise dissipate as heat. These two features combined can save up to 27% of the power used by the switch.This function allows the flow of data to be adjusted between switch and server, to ensure a reliable data transfer. At 2000 Mbps full duplex, the switch provides high-speed data pipes to your servers with minimum data transfer loss.All ports support auto-negotiation of MDI/MDIX cross over. This eliminates the need for cross over cables or uplink ports. Any port can simply plug to a server, a hub or a switch, using the usual straight-through twisted-pair cable.

This desktop switch offers an economical way for the SOHO and small and medium business (SMB) to benefit from the increased bandwidth of Gigabit Ethernet. It provides 5 Gigabit ports for fast server deployment to meet increasing network load. With plugand play installation and copper Gigabit ports capable of connecting to your existing Cat. 5 twisted-pair cable, this device instantly enhances your workgroup's performance without requiring you to install expensive fiber cables or to go through complex reconfiguration.
