The Trendnet GreenNet Initiative A number of independent studies have linked increased power consumption to our overall negative impact on the environment therefore we are proud to be resellers of companies like Trendnet who are determined to help produce more energy efficient products that contribute to the reduction of our carbon footprint. With this goal in mind, Trendnet created GreenNet switch-based technology. GreenNet technology is designed to reduce switch-based power consumption by up to 70% by providing electrical power on demand. Traditional switches operate at full power, 24-hours a day, regardless of switch loading. Trendnet GreenNet switches and routers incorporate the following three primary features to reduce power consumption: A Trendnet GreenNet switch can detect if an Ethernet port is not in use. Power consumption for an unused port is then lowered by reducing the frequency for which the respective port status is confirmed. A port may not be in use either when no device is connected to the port or when the device that is connected to the port is powered down or in standby mode. Regular switches do not have this capability and therefore consume more power while performing the same functions. Less power is required to send data over shorter cable lengths, therefore, a Trendnet GreenNet switch automatically detects the length of the cable that connects the switch to the given networked device and adjusts the power supply accordingly. This technology functions automatically and requires no management. A Trendnet GreenNet switch also reduces the amount of power consumed by operating in standby mode when it is not being used.
