why are you unboxing a network switch could there possibly be anything more boring to do an unboxing video of and the answer that I might give you is a yes there is something that could possibly be more boring to do an unboxing about and I'm actually going to do one about this hard drive okay so so yes there could be something more more boring and the other question of why am I doing an un boxing of a network switch actually I don't know if I ever posed that question but uh why am I doing this is because this is a green network switch so green Net Technology reduces power consumption by up to 70% how does it do that well one of the ways it does that is it uses energy efficient Parts okay so this is a trend net te s8g it's an eight Port switch one of the other ways it does it is even if you have only two ports plugged into an older switch it's actually going to be powering all of the ports this guy as part of their green initiative does not even send power to the ports that are not being used or sends very very very little so you can reduce power consumption that way by not actually powering the ports that aren't being used you can build a high performance energy efficient gigabit Network in minutes probably less than minutes probably about a minute if all the computers are close together and you can like unplug your old switch and then plug in all the other ones quickly uh it has a sturdy metal construction with plug-and-play installation and it is powered by an energy star qualified adapter for a better environment very nice okay so aha delivers less power to unused ports they're going to explain it all for me delivers less power when devices are off hey so if that computer's off it delivers less power and delivers less power with shorter cable length look at that so if you have a shorter cable length it will just deliver less power and if you have a longer one hey it can deliver more power too whereas a regular switch will give full power to every cable length that you have attached to it so that is what Green net is all about let's take this guy out and have a quick look at it I mean Trend net has a pretty good reputation for switches so you can rest pretty much assur the performance is going to be good and there's not much to worry about as far as that goes comes with four little rubber feet that you can install on the switch should you so desire here is your energy star qualified AC todc adapter okay it is made by leader Electronics Inc and it is capable of providing 1 amp at 7.5 Vols so there you go here's a quick installation guide that probably shows you something along the lines of how to plug a power plug in and how to plug an Ethernet cable in so I don't think they're too interested in that and then we'll have a look at the switch itself up so it's quite heavy because it does have a a metal casing I really like the look of trend Net's new products I don't know if you remember their goofy old uh blue plastic ones but these look much better you got a nice little green stripe so that indicates Ates a green product from trenet regardless of what kind of casing it's using if it's got that green then you know it is a green networking product well here is the gigabit switch model number here is the power indicator here is the link indicator for all of the ports on the back as well as an indicator light to show you just what speed they are connected at so if they use the standard scheme it's probably oh I'm just guessing here but it's probably green for fasty EET and orange for gabit Ethernet and I really hope that's right here's the overall specs by the way guys okay I hope that was interesting all right then we have some a wall mounting thing down here at the bottom then we have some ventilation holes on the side some ventilation holes on the other side and the business end of things so we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 gbit Ethernet ports 1 DC power in and that pretty much covers it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the te s8g Green net switch from trenet don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other equally fascinating although usually more fascinating than this videos"}
