The DES-1005P features green technology such as IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), link status detection, and cable length detection. EEE adjusts the power consumption of the switch based on network utilization, reducing the cost of ownership during periods of inactivity. Link status detection powers down ports when no links are detected, saving power when connected devices are shut down or disconnected. Cable length detection adjusts the power output of the port based on the cable length, reducing the power requirements of the switch.
