48-Port Console Server

The Avocent Cyclades ACS48 is a rack-mountable device server built for IT professionals and network operations centre staff who need secure, remote, out-of-band management of data-centre assets from any location. Its hardened Linux operating system delivers the reliability required for continuous infrastructure oversight.

Consolidated Management Software

When paired with Cyclades PM intelligent power distribution units and DSView 3 management software, the console server creates a unified out-of-band management platform that combines serial console access with power control in a single interface. This integration reduces the number of separate tools administrators must maintain.

49 RJ-45 Network Ports

The unit provides 49 Fast Ethernet RJ-45 connections, giving one dedicated management uplink plus 48 ports for direct device attachment. Buyers who need more than 48 managed serial endpoints or who require Gigabit Ethernet uplinks will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

Does the ACS48 require any periodic maintenance such as fan cleaning or filter replacement?

The 1U rack-mountable chassis has no user-serviceable filters; keeping the front and rear vents clear of dust is the only routine care needed.

What limits the number of simultaneous console sessions on the ACS48?

The unit provides 48 serial console ports, so the session count is capped at 48 concurrent connections.

How much heat does the ACS48 add to a rack when it runs continuously?

With a compact 1.8-inch height and 8.5-inch depth, the appliance draws modest power typical for a 48-port console server, so thermal load stays low in a ventilated cabinet.
