The DGS-1008D employs intelligent power saving modes to actively reduce energy consumption. Unconnected ports or ports without a client in powered or standby mode are put to sleep. The switch also determines, whether the ethernet cable is longer than 20m, if it's not, the port reduces its transmit output power to save even more energy.
