TRENDnet Launches Embedded Energy Saving GREENnet(TM) Technology in Gigabit Routers
| Source: TRENDnet
TORRANCE, CA--(Marketwire - January 9, 2009) - TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and wireless
networking hardware brand, today announces the launch of the 5-port Gigabit
GREENnet Switch (model TEG-S50g) and the 8-port Gigabit GREENnet Switch
(model TEG-S80g) with integrated energy saving GREENnet™ Technology.
GREENnet™ is a TRENDnet switch-based technology that determines and
supplies the appropriate amount of electrical power to each hardwired
switching port as required by the connected device, by the port, or by the
length of the connected Ethernet cable. GREENnet™ technology can reduce
the given device's power consumption by up to 70%.
GREENnet™ solutions automatically detect if an Ethernet port is not in
use and will reduce the amount of power sent to the respective unused port.
A port may not be in use when either 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 networking function.
Less power is required to send data over shorter cable lengths.
GREENnet™ technology automatically detects the length of the cable that
connects the Ethernet port to the networked device and adjusts the power
supply accordingly. This technology functions automatically, requires no
management and has no effect on product performance.
"TRENDnet's GREENnet™ technology is a seamless solution that reduces
product power consumption without affecting performance. No management is
required; it simply works when you turn on the device," stated Zak Wood,
Director of Global Marketing for TRENDnet. "TRENDnet first integrated
GREENnet™ technology into our wireless n routers in October of 2008.
GREENnet™ technology helps to reduce our carbon footprint in a small but
important way."
