D-Link has unveiled a new range of Green Ethernet desktop switches, offering energy savings of up to 44% compared to traditional methods. The technology is to be aimed at home users and small businesses and is expected to go to market in 2012. The theory is that intelligent chip technology can detect when PCs connected to them are turned off, and can power down the switches, thus saving energy.

This new switch technology pre-empts moves by the IEEE standards body on its 802.3 specifications for Energy Efficient Ethernet Technologies.
