Network Peripherals

This web page documents a variety of network devices and their power usage. With the explosion of the Internet, we find our home filled with computer and network technologies. Take a look at these measurements to get an idea how much electricity you are using. These measurements will help you determine how much it costs to keep your home network running.

The measurements are taken using an electricity usage measurement device, such as a "Kill A Watt" (see "Related Links" below). If you measure the electricity usage of your network equipment, please update this page and add it to the list below.
