16-Port Secure Console Server
The Black Box LES1516A is a rack-mountable console server with sixteen serial ports for out-of-band management of network equipment. It includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB ports for connectivity. The unit ships with rackmount brackets, CAT5 cables and Cisco pinout adapters.
Suits admins needing dense serial access
Network operators who require secure, centralised control of up to sixteen serial devices will fit this unit into a standard rack. It is not for environments that need only a single management port or that rely exclusively on USB console connections.
Check rack space and power input
Verify that 1U of rack height and the listed depth are available in your cabinet. Confirm the internal power supply accepts your local mains voltage before installation. Ensure the Cisco pinout adapters match the console ports on your target devices.

Questions about this item
What network cabling do I need to connect the 16-port console server to my LAN?

Can I still manage legacy serial equipment that uses DB-9 connectors through this unit?
Yes, the package includes both straight-through and crossover DB-9 female-to-RJ-45 adapters for the 16 serial ports.
How do I confirm the console server is operating correctly after rack installation?
Check that the front-panel indicators show link and activity on the Gigabit Ethernet ports and verify serial-session access to each connected device.
