Avocent ACS 6048 48-Port Console Server
The Avocent ACS6048MDAC-G2 is a 48-port console server built for data-centre managers who need secure, out-of-band access to dozens of serial devices. It ships with dual AC power supplies for redundancy and an integrated modem for dial-back connectivity when the network is down. A 533 MHz processor and 256 MB of memory drive the management firmware. Two Ethernet ports and one USB 2.0 port provide uplinks and local storage options.
Who This Suits and Who It Does Not
Network teams running dense rack rows gain a single appliance that replaces cascaded terminal servers and eliminates cable clutter. The built-in modem covers sites that still require PSTN fallback. Organisations needing Power over Ethernet for attached gear or more than 48 managed ports must look elsewhere.
Deciding Specification: 48 Serial Ports
The port count is the decisive figure: 48 RJ-45 serial connectors mean one unit can manage an entire rack row of switches, routers, servers and PDUs. If the target environment has fewer devices, a smaller console server reduces cost and rack space; if it has more, a second appliance or a higher-density model is required.

Questions about this item
How much power does the ACS 6048 draw when running continuously with both AC supplies active?
The unit ships with dual AC power supplies for redundancy; each supply handles the full load so the server keeps running if one feed fails.
Which cables or adapters must I already have to connect 48 serial devices to the RJ-45 ports?
You need 48 straight-through RJ-45 serial cables or appropriate DB-9-to-RJ-45 adapters matching your equipment pin-outs.
Can the 533 MHz processor and 256 MB memory manage console sessions from legacy gear alongside modern servers?
Yes, the processor and memory handle simultaneous Telnet or SSH sessions to older serial consoles and current network devices without bottleneck.
