Perle 04032430 IOLAN SDS16C LDC terminal server

Industrial Console Server

The Perle 04032430 IOLAN SDS16C LDC is a 1U rack-mount terminal server designed for serial-to-Ethernet connectivity in harsh environments. It provides sixteen RJ45 serial ports with software-selectable RS232, RS422, and RS485 interfaces. The unit operates on 24 or 48 VDC power and includes a 10/100/1000 Ethernet uplink. It meets IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards for substation automation.

For Telecom and Utility Engineers

This console server suits telecommunications engineers and project managers who need secure, out-of-band management for serial console ports on network equipment. It fits facilities requiring NEBS Level 3 certification for deployment in lights-out data centres, distant POP sites, or co-location facilities. Buyers needing AC power input or a higher port density on a single appliance should evaluate other options.

Sixteen Port Serial Aggregation

The defining specification is the sixteen RJ45 ports supporting Cisco and Sun pinouts for direct connection to network infrastructure. Software-selectable RS232, RS422, and RS485 modes allow a single unit to interface with mixed serial equipment without hardware changes. This port count and flexibility determine whether the server matches the scale of the target deployment.
