Design Engineers are building energy-efficient technologies directly into Ethernet network equipment to deliver energy savings and cost efficiency to end-users.

Ethernet energy-efficiency is in demand today. Broaden public awareness, surge in network usage and adoption of global legislation has increased demand for networking equipment that operates more efficiently and results in a positive impact for businesses, consumers and the environment.

ActiPHY™

An automatic power savings mode when a specific port is in link down or standby operation.

PerfectReach™

An intelligent algorithm that actively determines the appropriate power level needed based on cable length.

Vitesse addresses this demand by being the first Ethernet silicon supplier to deliver green innovative features that provide energy savings of up to 80-percent compared to 1000BASE-T full data rate in any network infrastructure device or consumer premise equipment incorporating its widely adopted SimpliPHY, SparX and G-RocX Ethernet IC portfolios.

Delivering green power savings equivalent to well over 400mW per port, all three of Vitesse's Ethernet IC product families are enhanced with two advanced, energy savings technologies that assist eco-conscious Enterprise, small-medium business and service providers who are looking for ways to reduce their energy consumption. These technologies have been designated by Vitesse as EcoEthernet™ solutions and are known industry-wide as ActiPHY™ and PerfectReach™.

Both of these features can be activated in all SimpliPHY, SparX, and G-RocX devices currently in production via an eco-friendly software upgrade. Together, we can make green the color of your networking innovation.
