Tripp Lite Serial Console Server 48-Port 2 USB Ports Dual GbE 16GB Flash 1U (B098-048)
Racks fill with headless gear that needs a direct serial terminal when the primary network interface stops responding. We build this console server to sit in the cabinet and maintain out-of-band access to those console ports. Dual network interfaces keep a path open if one link goes quiet.

How this one is built
Serial device management
Connect directly to routers, managed switches and power hardware across a row of serial ports. Technicians can reach configuration prompts without sitting on the floor with a rollover cable.
Dual network interfaces
Two separate network jacks handle the main connection and back each other up. If the primary drop fails, the unit redirects traffic across the second link to keep console sessions alive.
Cisco pinout support
Straight patch cabling hooks right into Cisco style console jacks without specialty adapters. Standard copper runs land clean on the front panel and keep the cabinet dressing neat.
Secure terminal access
Hardware processing meets federal security benchmarks for sensitive data environments. Administrative traffic stays encrypted across the network so routine terminal work does not expose credentials across the wire.
On the nameplate
These are the figures published for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
