Lantronix SLC80162201G Advanced Console Manager — SLC8000 16-Port, Dual AC
Overview
The Lantronix SLC80162201G is a 16-port advanced console manager in the Lantronix SLC8000 series, configured with dual AC power supplies for deployments where power redundancy is non-negotiable. This model targets data center and network operations center environments running mixed infrastructure — routers, switches, firewalls, servers — where out-of-band management access must remain available even during primary network or power failure. The SLC80162201G ships TAA-compliant and RoHS-certified, making it eligible for U.S. federal, defense, and government-adjacent projects where both country-of-origin and environmental compliance are required. Managing 16 serial console ports from a single appliance reduces the cabling sprawl and KVM-over-IP overlap that inflate rack management complexity in mid-scale deployments.
Compatibility
Designed for the Lantronix SLC8000 platform family. The SLC80162201G connects to any device with an RS-232 or serial console port — including Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE, and Dell network equipment — via standard RJ-45-to-DB9 or RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cables (not included; verify pinout against your target device's console port standard). It integrates into existing out-of-band management architectures and supports centralized authentication systems. Dual AC power inputs accept standard data center PDU feeds; confirm your rack PDU branch circuit ratings match the unit's input requirements before installation. TAA compliance makes this unit suitable for GSA Schedule and federal contract procurement channels without a waiver.
Installation Notes
Dual AC power requires two independent power feeds — single-feed installations defeat the redundancy benefit entirely. Rack-mount into a standard 19-inch EIA rack; verify 1U clearance and rear cable management depth before ordering. RoHS compliance restricts hazardous materials in the unit itself but does not govern the cabling or accessories you pair with it — source RoHS-compliant patch cables separately if your project specification requires full-assembly compliance. TAA paperwork for procurement should reference MPN SLC80162201G directly.
