Tripp Lite Serial Console Server 48-Port 2 USB Ports Dual GbE 16GB Flash 1U (B098-048)
When a remote router drops off the board, driving out to plug in a console cable burns hours. We built this console server to sit in the rack beside your switches, power gear and appliances. It keeps an administrative path open over copper even when the primary production path stops responding.
Price as our retail partner last listed it. They set it and they can change it, so the figure on their page is the one that counts at checkout.

- Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for primary network connection and automatic failover
- Designed for standard Cat5e/6 patch cable when connecting to Cisco devices
How this one is built
Serial device management
Direct console access lets you configure headless network gear, power backups, and servers through dedicated serial jacks. You can drop straight into setup menus and boot prompts over the network without standing in a cold aisle with a laptop.
Dual network paths
Pair of network interfaces handles main traffic and keeps a standby path ready for automatic switchover. If one link drops, the backup jack picks up management access so you can reach your rack hardware from offsite.
Cisco pinout support
The serial jacks accept standard modular patch cables to hook straight into Cisco console receptacles. That cuts down on specialized rolled adapters and pin changers cluttering the bottom of the cabinet.
Tested security validation
Firmware meets FIPS standards for data security during remote administrative sessions. It keeps configuration commands and login credentials shielded while you work on remote infrastructure across public or corporate routing.
On the nameplate
These are the figures our retail partner lists 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.
