EEE
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
802.3az standard, reduces the power consumption of physical layer devices during periods of low
link utilization. EEE saves energy by allowing PHY non-essential circuits shut down when there is
no traffic.
Network administrators have long focused on the energy efficiency of their infrastructure, and
the EnGenius Layer 2 Switch complies with the IEEE’s Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard.
The EEE compliant Switch offers users the ability to utilize power that Ethernet links use only
during data transmission. Lower Power Idle (LPI) is the method for achieving the power saving
during Ethernet ideal time.
