| | | The first Green Ethernet technology on the market the DGS-2205 features innovative eco-friendly technology
Reduces power consumption & creates less heat
Extended product life
Reduces Operating Costs
Computers do not require Internet access all the time; neither do switches utilize all ports at all times. When a computer or network equipment is shutdown, switches often remain on and continue to consume considerable amount of power. With Green Ethernet technology, D-Link switches can automatically detect link status and reduce power usage of ports that are idle. Computers or any connecting parties set to standby mode (not power off), however, will not provide significant power savings.
The Green Ethernet switches have the ability to analyze the length of any Ethernet cable connected to them for adjustment of power usage accordingly. Shorter lengths require less power.
For a traditional switch, power consumption remains constant even when the ports are not in use. In a standard workday scenario where PCs are used for 10 hours a day and powered off 14 hours a day, and connected to the switch using 20 meter cables, D-Link's Green Ethernet can save up to 27%* power used for each system.
The D-Link DGS-2205 is a 5-port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Switch that delivers power, performance, and reliability in one cost-effective, space-saving design. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a reality.
Power users in the home, office, workgroup, or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files across the network instantly.
The D-Link DGS-2205 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch features a non-blocking switching architecture that filters and forwards packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. An 8,000 MAC address table provides scalability for even the largest networks.
Address learning and aging, 802.3x Flow Control for full duplex mode, and back pressure flow control for half-duplex mode alleviates traffic congestion and ensures reliable data transmission. Designed using industry standards, it is compatible with virtually all 10, 100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices and other vendor equipment. The D-Link DGS-2205 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch protects your existing network investments while providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds.

5 of 5 Does what it is supposed to do Monday, November 17, 2008
A Customer from New York, NY
Easy installation and good price. No brainer. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Great switch at a great price Monday, October 13, 2008
A Customer from Indianapolis, IN
I'm a 3Com person usually, but when I needed a small switch to add a networked printer to my home office this was the best deal for the price (with rebate.)
Not much else to say - power it up, plug everything in and go. It works great and does the job. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Nice Product Sunday, August 17, 2008
Charles from Hampton, VA
Very easy to install. This unit has worked perfectly with no problems at all. It looks nice too. To allow for future expansion I wish I had bought the one with eight ports but am very satisfied with this one. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Fast switch at a good price... Wednesday, August 13, 2008

...if you get the rebate. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Idiot-proof no-brainer Gigabit hypervelocity Sunday, August 10, 2008
Brent from Newton, NC
There is not too much to say about this switch except you plug it in and it works. And on top of that the price is excellent especially with the ten clams I got back in the form of a mail-in rebate. If you are still using a regular 10/100 switch you don't know what you are missing! I regularly transfer multigigabytes worth of files on my backup. This switch makes the backup happen much, much, much quicker. Of course your attached computers must have gigabit networking capability to take advantage of this speed. If you have a home network do yourself a favor and buy this switch. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 just what i was looking for!!! Tuesday, July 15, 2008
Johnnie Halsell from Vancouver, WA
I have wanted to upgrade my home/office network from 10/100 Mbs to 1000 Mbs, but the price was high and not all my computers had Gigabit ports. I needed an ethernet card for my desktop, a PC card for one laptop, and an Expresscard for another laptop. Those are all special purpose items tied to old hardware. It costs a little more, however, the USB2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Converter can connect to each of my older computers preserving my investment. I also got a great price on the backbone of my network a D-Link Xtreme N Gigabit Router, ant two D-Link DGS-2205 5-Port 10/100/1000 Desktop Switchs. Now my high speed cable internet screams!!!

5 of 5 This one is a no brainer Monday, June 16, 2008
jagman_55 from Tempe
If you have more than one PC, this purchase is a no brainer.
Gives you one gigabyte transfer between PC's and all you have to do is hook it up after your router and your PC's into this switch to get fast transfer.
I took it out of the box, plugged it in, turned it on. Thats it. Was this review helpful?
