Eaton B093-008-2E4U Tripp Lite 8-Port GbE Console Server
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite B093-008-2E4U is an 8-port serial console server engineered for robust remote infrastructure management. It provides secure in-band (primary network) and out-of-band (alternate channel) access to critical network devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, PBX systems, UPS units, and PDUs. This device is an essential component for maintaining uptime and resolving issues swiftly in diverse environments like wiring closets, branch offices, point-of-sale systems, and other remote sites. Designed for high reliability, the console server features dual Gigabit primary and failover Ethernet ports, ensuring continuous network connectivity and redundancy for uninterrupted operations. Security is paramount, with an embedded FIPS 140-2 validated OpenSSL cryptographic module, support for PCI DSS 3.2, SSL, SSH, a stateful firewall, OpenVPN, and IPSec VPN. This comprehensive security suite safeguards sensitive management traffic and connected equipment from unauthorized access. The unit also includes 4GB of internal NAND flash memory, providing ample space for logs, configurations, and other critical data. Deployment is flexible, offering both 1U rack-mounting with included hardware for EIA-standard 19-inch racks and desktop placement using integrated rubber feet, complemented by a fanless design for silent operation. Eight RS-232 serial console ports are configured for compatibility with standard Cat5e/6 patch cables when connecting to Cisco devices, simplifying cabling. Additionally, four USB 2.0 console ports and two digital I/O (DIO) ports expand connectivity for newer devices and peripheral control. It integrates with industry-standard directory servers using TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP, and Kerberos authentication for streamlined user management.
