[INFOGRAPHIC] Reduce Switch Power Consumption By Up To 80%

Sep, 18, 2013 Hi-network.com

Cisco Catalyst 2960-X is our greenest Catalyst access switch ever. If all similar switches shipped in 2012 were as energy efficient as Catalyst 2960-X, you would save enough energy to power every household in San Francisco for more than 3 years. Here's how:

  1. At power up, Catalyst 2960-X consumes lower power than other comparable switches.
  2. Cisco EnergyWise monitors and controls the power consumption of PoE and PoE+ devices connected to the switch. You can turn off IP phones and wireless access points automatically after business hours.
  3. Energy Efficient Ethernet provides power savings when there is no traffic on switch ports. This saves about 15 watts for a 48 port-switch and 8 watts for a 24 port-switch.
  4. Downlink Hibernation Mode shuts down the downlink interface to save half watt per port when the connected devices are not in use, for example, after the office hours.
  5. Switch Hibernation Mode puts the switch to sleep mode during off hours and weekends. In this mode, the switch consumes as low as 6 watts, compared to 47 watts in active mode.

Collectively, these green features can reduce power consumption by up to 80%.

You have already seen how energy savings from Catalyst 2960-X can power all households of San Francisco for 3+ years. See infographic below for other fun ways to use these energy savings.
