Lantronix SLC80161201S 16-Port Advanced Console Manager
Overview
The SLC80161201S is Lantronix's 16-port entry point in the Lantronix SLC8000 series of advanced console managers — out-of-band management infrastructure for data centers, network closets, and remote sites where you need reliable serial access to routers, switches, and servers regardless of network state. This single-AC-power configuration suits deployments where power redundancy is handled upstream (PDU-level or facility UPS) and budget or rack constraints make dual-PSU unnecessary. The unit is RoHS-compliant, making it suitable for facilities with environmental materials restrictions. Model SLC80161201S is the 16-port, single-power-supply variant of the SLC8000 platform.
Compatibility
The SLC80161201S is a member of the Lantronix SLC8000 platform. The SLC8000 family spans 8, 16, 32, and 48-port configurations; SLC80161201S is specifically the 16-port, single-AC variant. Console port connections are RS-232 serial (RJ-45), compatible with standard serial pinouts used by Cisco, Juniper, Aruba, HPE, and most enterprise-grade network switches, routers, firewalls, and servers. Verify that your existing rack infrastructure and cable plant are configured for RJ-45-to-DB9 or RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cabling before deployment — the unit does not ship with patch cables. For environments requiring power supply redundancy at the unit level, the SLC8000 dual-AC variant is the appropriate choice; this single-AC model is not field-upgradeable to dual-AC.
Installation Notes
The SLC8000 is a rack-mount appliance; confirm 1U clearance and adequate rear cable management depth before ordering. Single-AC power means one power inlet — connect to a UPS-protected circuit if uptime during facility power events is a requirement. RoHS compliance restricts certain hazardous materials in construction, which may be a procurement requirement in EU or California RoHS-regulated environments; confirm your jurisdiction's applicable directive before citing compliance in documentation.
