This list contains power consumtion values for several network switches measured under idle load. Test are conducted with a single copper port using 1000BASE-T (or 100BASE-TX for switches without a copper gigabit port). Unless marked otherwise test was using factory defaults. All values should only be used as rough estimate as most values are only short time measurements, also grid voltage and network load can cause variations.
