Overview

Buffalo's Gigabit Green Ethernet Switches include power-savings features, like 802.3az Green Ethernet technology and an energy conservation feature that monitors the activity status of each port to reduce the total power consumed, therefore reducing related operational costs.

Gigabit speeds, eco-minded operation, performance-minded features and a lifetime warranty make Buffalo's BS-GU Series of Gigabit Green Ethernet Switches a perfect network extension solution for your office.

Highlights

DETECT NETWORK DISRUPTIONS

Buffalo's Gigabit Green Ethernet Switches come with either loop detection (BS-GU2005 & BS-GU2008 models) or loop prevention (BS-GU2016 & BS-GU2024 models).  Loop detection will alert you of a loop in your network by lighting an LED on the front of the switch while loop prevention shuts down the port(s) where a network loop is detected.

EASILY EXTEND YOUR HOME NETWORK

Integrates any Ethernet enabled device with plug and play setup including PCs, TVs, gaming consoles and other digital home appliances.

GIGABIT ETHERNET

Multiple gigabit Ethernet ports provide fast transfer rates of large bandwidth intensive files including graphics and multimedia.

FAST AND EASY SETUP

Easy to read LED indicators for each port clearly and quickly communicate which ports have active connections as well as which ports have gigabit speed devices attached.  Auto-MDIX provides fast plug and play setup, eliminating the need for a crossover cable while auto-negotiation detects the link speed of the attached device and adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance, making the switch backwards compatible with older network devices.

SAVE ENERGY AND OPERATIONAL EXPENSES

802.3az Green Ethernet technology monitors the link status of each port and only provides power to those that have a connected device that is powered on and puts transmitters into sleep mode when no information is being sent or received.  In addition, the length of cable connected to each port is detected and the amount of power supplied is adjusted accordingly.  All of these features add up to energy savings of up to 79% over traditional switches.
