TRENDnets’s Commitment to Green Technology

Environmental responsibility is a prominent concern for TRENDnet. Economic expansion, technological advances and population growth are all contributing factors to the worldwide increase in energy consumption and to our global carbon footprint. A number of independent studies have linked to increased power consumption to our overall negative impact on the environment.

TRENDnet is determined to help produce more energy efficient products that contribute to the reduction of our carbon footprint. With this goal in mind, TRENDnet created the first to market technology, GREENnet, designed to greatly reduce everyday power consumption, with no effect on product performance.

TRENDnet’s GREENnet Technology

GREENnet is a switch-based technology. Switches, the backbone of networking products that allow us to connect and communicate in this digital age, consume significant power as an aggregate. GREENnet technology is designed to reduce switch-based power consumption by up to 70% by providing electrical power on demand. Traditional switches operate at full power, 24 hours a day, regardless of switch loading. TRENDnet GREENnet switches incorporate the following two primary features to reduce power consumption:

1. Link Down Detect
A TRENDnet GREENnet switch can detect if an Ethernet port is not in use. Power consumption for an unused port is then lowered by reducing the frequency for which the respective port status is confirmed. A port may not be in use either when no device is connected to the port or when the device that is connected to the port is powered down or in standby mode.

2. Cable Length Detect
Less power is required to send data over shorter cable lengths. A TRENDnet GREENnet switch automatically detects the length of the cable that connects the switch to the given networked device and adjusts the power supply accordingly. This technology functions automatically and requires no management.
