15. Energy-Efficient Technology Auto Power-Down
EEE (802.3az) support lowers power during low traffic quiet periods
Detects the length of connected Ethernet cable and adjusts power usage accordingly—without affecting performance
Automatically turns off power when the switch detects a link down
If there is no link on a port (when there is no connection or the device connected is turned off), the port(s) enter a “sleep mode”
Resumes active mode when the switch detects the link is up or a device is connected
