Optimal Solution for Energy Saving and Gigabit High Performance

PLANET Green Networking Switch-GSD-504 is an ideal solution in line with the energy-

saving trend worldwide. The GSD-504 is a 5-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, bringing both

benefits of energy saving and Gigabit wire speed performance. It is specially designed

for home networking, SOHOs and enterprises.

Energy Saving

The GSD-504 uses new engine that provides power saving up to 40% less energy but

maintains high performance efficiently. It incorporates two advanced Green Networking

technologies:

• Hibernation Link Down power saving

• Intelligent scales power based on cable length

The Hibernation Link Down power saving goes beyond IEEE specifications to

automatically lower power for a given port when it is not linked. With the Hibernation

Link Down power saving technology, the GSD-504 will automatically adjust power usage

of the ports that are shut down or not connected to network device.

Intelligent scales power, the other technology adopted, is an intelligent algorithm that

actively determines the appropriate power level based on cable length. When the GSD-

504 is connected with Ethernet cable shorter than 20m, a device can obtain maximum

power saving because the GSD-504 would automatically detect the Ethernet cable

length and diminish power usage. The connected device can substantially reduce the

overall power consumption, which makes a signicant contribution to energy saving.

Leading Home, SOHO and Workgroup Users to High-speed Networking Generation

The GSD-504 is designed with modern plastic compact housing and easy to deploy high speed Gigabit networking in home or SOHO applications. Providing

10Gbps internal switching fabric, the GSD-504 can handle an extremely large amount of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity

servers. The GSD-504 provides 2K MAC address table, and wire-speed packet transfer performance without risk of packet loss. The high data throughput of

the device makes it ideal for most Gigabit environments, especially for the network to be upgraded to a Gigabit environment.

Plug & Play

All RJ-45 copper interfaces of the GSD-504 support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 5, 5e or 6

cables. They support standard auto-MDI/MDI-X feature which can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or

crossover cables.

Product Application

Backbone Switch

The GSD-504 can directly connect to department Switches or backbone servers. With up to 10 Gigabit per second of non-blocking switch fabric, the GSD-

504 can be used to build a Gigabit high-bandwidth switched network quickly and easily.

Home/SOHO High-speed Network Center

The GSD-504 Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides the best solution of high-speed Internet environment demanded by SOHO / Home and Power users. The

GSD-504 accelerates the speed of data transmission between devices without worrying about the delay of high quality multimedia display. In aspect of home

use, the GSD-504 integrates the speeds of 10, 100 and 1000Mbps which can fulll your demands of transmitting high quality multimedia, games and other

high speed Internet applications.
