Tripp Lite 16-Port Serial Console/Terminal Server Management Switch TAA GSA (B096-016)

When the primary network drops, you still need a way into the switches and power gear. This console server mounts right in the rack and puts serial connections to your hardware on a separate management path. Redundant power feeds and dual network jacks keep the console reachable during routine maintenance or local link drops.

What it does

How this one is built

Serial device management

A bank of serial ports connects directly to your headless servers, managed switches, uninterruptible power supplies, and firewalls. You get command-line configuration access across the cabinet without running cables to individual machines.

Out of band paths

Dual network ports and a built-in telephone modem maintain an alternate path into your hardware when the local subnet is unreachable. You can dial in or route through a secondary network drops when primary links fail.

Dual power feeds

Two separate power inlets accept cords from independent wall circuits or backup batteries. If one utility line drops or a breaker trips on one feed, the internal circuitry keeps running without interruption.

Federal procurement compliance

We build this hardware in compliance with the Trade Agreements Act for GSA Schedule purchasing requirements. It fits standard government and institutional data room contracts that require verified sourcing across all racked components.
