TORRANCE, Calif. –February 9, 2011–TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and wireless networking hardware brand, is excited to cite a Price-to-Performance award for TRENDnet's 16-Port Gigabit GREENnet Switch, model TEG-S16Dg, from Hardwareluxx, a major German technology publication.

Hardwareluxx compared the features, specifications, and pricing of unmanaged 16-port Gigabit switches from four major networking brands. All reviewed products were similarly sized desktop switches with metal housings. Switch specifications were also similar between brands. The differentiating features that tipped the scales in TRENDnet's favor were the price-per-port, and low power consumption of TRENDnet's TEG-S16Dg. TRENDnet's price-per-port was 20% lower than the nearest priced switch, and 60% lower than the most expensive brand. TRENDnet's environmentally friendly GREENnet™ technology produced ultra-low power consumption. The maximum power consumption of TRENDnet's TEG-S16Dg is only 7.2 Watts—over three times lower than the next most efficient switch it this review, which consumes up to 24 Watts. Hardwareluxx stated, "The energy saving king is TRENDnet's TEG-S16Dg, which also won our Price-to-Performance Award."
