The newly introduced switch has enhanced power-saving features, including a power supply that is ENERGY STAR-compliant. Already available is the next-generation D-Link 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch DGS-2205.

This second generation release of the D-Link Green switches is part of the D-Link Green technology computing initiative that includes manufacturing environmentally responsible products, ec006F-friendly packaging, optimizing devices for ENERGY STAR compliance, and providing consumer education and recycling programs.

Our goal is to maintain industry leadership as a pioneer of green networking technology by building in even more energy-saving features into our products without sacrificing performance, said AJ Wang, chief technology officer, D-Link. We plan to continue the momentum of success we have realized with our first generation green products as we seek new avenues that protect the environment and help our customers save money in the process.
