D-Link extends Its Green Initiatives
D-Link has become the first manufacturer of networking solutions to achieve compliance with a new international carbon footprint standard. D-Link's 5-Port (DGS-1005D) and 8-Port (DGS-1008D) Desktop Switches are now certified compliant with ISO/CD 14067-1:2010 and PAS 2050:2008.
"Since 2005, D-Link has manufactured energy-efficient products by utilizing Green practices and is now extending this initiative to develop products that deliver even better performance using less energy and materials," said Jayesh Kotak, Vice-President -Product Marketing, D-Link India Ltd. "As a leading global networking corporation, we are constantly enhancing our R&D capabilities as well as our supply chain to help protect the planet while at the same time maximizing the benefits for our customers."
Built with D-Link Green technology, the two desktop switches conserve energy by recognizing when a port is active or inactive, and automatically adjusting the power usage based on cable length to save energy without any loss of performance. Consequently, energy can be conserved for the benefit of both the user and the environment.
The D-Link Green initiative is D-Link's assurance to users of its continuing effort to ensure that its consumer and business products adhere to worldwide environmental standards in all aspects of the product cycle. This includes reducing power consumption whenever possible, using recyclable materials for packaging, and recycling unused factory parts.
