Avocent ACS8016SAC-404 Serial Console Server

The Vertiv Avocent ACS8016SAC-404 is a 16-port serial console server in the ACS8000 family, delivering centralized, remote access to the console ports of multiple IT devices from a single management point. This model uses RJ-45 serial console ports and is configured with a single AC power supply, aligning with the ACS8000 16-port unit single AC power supply designation. When deployed in data centers or remote sites, it enables out-of-band management by connecting to servers, switches, routers, and other equipment through its serial ports, with optional cellular connectivity available for primary Out-of-Band access or failover alongside Ethernet management. The device is designed to integrate with Vertiv's DSView management ecosystem for centralized control and supports automatic network failover configurations, enhancing reliability for remote troubleshooting and asset management. Typical deployments include data centers, colocation facilities, and branch locations where physical access is limited and remote maintenance is critical.
