Lantronix SLC81161201S 16-Port USB Advanced Console Manager
Overview
The Lantronix SLC81161201S is the SLC 8000 Advanced Console Manager configured with 16 USB device ports and a single AC power supply. Console managers in this class serve as out-of-band management infrastructure — when a network device goes dark or a remote server becomes unreachable over the primary network, the SLC 8000 provides a dedicated serial/USB path so administrators can access the console port of routers, switches, servers, and other equipment without dispatching on-site personnel. The SLC81161201S fits single-power-supply deployments where a redundant AC input is not required, reducing cost in environments with upstream UPS protection or lower-criticality remote sites. RoHS compliance makes this unit suitable for installations in regions or facilities with restricted-substance mandates.
Compatibility
The SLC 8000 platform is designed to manage console ports on a broad range of network and server equipment via USB and serial connections — including routers, switches, firewalls, servers, and PDUs from major vendors. The 16-port USB configuration supports up to 16 simultaneously connected devices. Verify that target equipment exposes a USB console port (or use appropriate USB-to-serial adapters for RJ-45/DB-9 serial console ports). Management access is delivered over the primary Ethernet network interface; confirm your out-of-band management VLAN or cellular backup path is in place before deployment.
Installation Notes
This unit ships with a single AC power supply — size your rack PDU feed accordingly, and confirm that no dual-power-supply configuration is required by your data center or NOC SLA before ordering. RoHS compliance should be verified against your regional procurement requirements at the time of purchase. For deployments requiring power redundancy, evaluate the dual-power-supply variant of the SLC 8000 platform instead.
