Edimax 16/24-Port Gigabit/Fast Ethernet Rack-Mount Switches – Edimax ES-1016, This 16-port rack-mount switch from Edimax is a superb enery saver (saves up to 59%), while supplying fast ethernet speeds that are critical for network applications of the next generation. To meet the standard IEEE 802.3az, this switch provides power saving features, so that the energy consumption is reduced and business costs.Detection of dead linksThe function to adjust energy use reduces energy automatically when an unpowered network device or inactive link is detected. That is, the energy consumption of the switch can be adjusted according to the link status or the number of active network devices when possible. Cable length detectionThe devices that are equipped with this green feature can automatically detect the length of connected ethernet cables and adjust power usage accordingly. The shorter the cable length, the less energy is consumed. Supports auto-negotiationEvery port of the ES-1024 can automatically detect the connected network devices/full duplex mode with 10/100 Mbit/s in half. The ES-1024 can adjust the speed and mode accordingly. Supports non-blocking wire speedThe ES-1024 receives and sends traffic seamlessly with its non-blocking wire speed. All connections to the ES-1024 at the same time have a speed of up to 2000 Mbit/s full-duplex mode. This property provides all connected devices full wire speed and allows you to work smoothly with a high-speed network. Supports store-and-forward architectureWith the store-and-forward architecture fragment and CRC error packets are filtered so that the ES-1024 can maximise network performance by reducing the spread of bad network packets. Construction without fanSince the design ensures no fan for quiet operation in small offices, the ES-1024 is the perfect solution for use in small offices and home office rooms.
