48-Port Serial Console Server

The Tripp Lite B097-048 provides 48 serial ports for managing network devices such as routers, switches and servers from a single point. It includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB ports for flexible connectivity. The unit operates on 100 V AC to 240 V AC input voltage and fits a desktop or rack-mount form factor.

Bundled Accessories and Software

The package supplies two C13 to NEMA 5-15P power cords, two Cat5e patch cables and three serial adapters covering straight-through, crossover and modular pinouts. Rack-mounting hardware and six rubber feet are also included for immediate installation. A quick start guide helps administrators begin configuration without hunting for cables.

48 Serial Ports for Dense Management

With 48 serial ports this console server suits environments that need to manage many serial-enabled devices simultaneously. Buyers who require fewer ports or a different port density should consider alternative models. The Gigabit Ethernet uplinks support 10/100/1000Base-T networks for reliable remote access.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the 48 serial ports require over time?

The 48 serial ports are solid-state interfaces with no moving parts, so they need no scheduled maintenance beyond keeping cables secure and connectors clean.

Which limit appears first when all 48 serial ports run continuously?

The 1.8-inch rack height limits airflow, so sustained full-port loads can raise internal temperatures before any port or network limit is reached.

How much heat and noise does the unit produce when mounted in a rack all day?

The desktop-form-factor chassis relies on passive cooling, so it generates minimal noise but measurable heat in a 1.8U rack slot under continuous operation.
