Lantronix SLC80482201S 48-Port Dual AC Advanced Console Manager
Overview
The Lantronix SLC80482201S is the 48-port, dual AC power supply configuration of the SLC8000 Advanced Console Manager — a purpose-built out-of-band management appliance for data center and network operations environments. This model ships RoHS-compliant and is sized for large deployments where a single console server must aggregate serial console access across 48 devices simultaneously. Dual AC power inputs provide supply redundancy, meaning a single PSU failure or upstream circuit loss does not interrupt console access to the managed device fleet — a meaningful distinction in 24/7 NOC and remote-hands scenarios where the console server itself must stay available during the outages it exists to help resolve. The SLC80482201S suits environments running large switch stacks, server farms, or security appliance arrays where engineers need reliable serial access to every node regardless of network state.
Compatibility
The SLC80482201S is a member of the Lantronix SLC8000 Advanced Console Manager family. It is designed for integration into existing network management and out-of-band access infrastructure alongside network switches, servers, routers, and security appliances exposing RS-232 serial console ports. As an SLC8000-series unit, it is compatible with Lantronix management software and integrates with standard enterprise device management workflows via IP network connectivity. Verify that your target devices use RJ-45 or DB-9 serial console pinouts and that your rack environment can supply dual AC feeds before ordering. RoHS compliance confirms the unit meets EU hazardous substance restrictions — relevant for deployments in regulated facilities or when equipment must meet environmental compliance requirements for disposal and lifecycle management.
Installation Notes
The dual AC configuration requires two independent AC power sources for full redundancy benefit — connecting both inputs to the same circuit or UPS defeats the purpose. Rack space allocation and cable management for 48 serial console connections should be planned before installation; high-density serial deployments typically require structured cabling and labeling discipline to keep the console server useful during incidents. Confirm RoHS compliance documentation requirements with your facility or procurement team if environmental certification records are needed at intake.
