Out-of-band management keeps you connected when the primary network drops. We built this console server to give administrators direct access to routers, switches, and rack equipment through standard patch cabling.

How this one is built
Serial console access
A bank of serial connections lets you reach managed hardware through straight-through cabling. You talk directly to headless network gear, uninterruptible power supplies, and server consoles without relying on local network availability.
Dual network interfaces
A pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports handles your primary connection and secondary failover path. If the main link drops, traffic shifts across the second jack so your terminal access remains intact from the management console.
Direct equipment cabling
Pinouts allow standard network patch cables to connect directly into Cisco console ports. You do not need specialized rollover adapters or proprietary pinout dongles cluttering up the back of your rack.
Validated security architecture
Internal hardware and firmware meet federal FIPS standards for encrypted sessions and secure management. Logins, configuration changes, and terminal data stay isolated within the secured management stream.
