8-port serial device server
The Raritan DSX2-8 is a rack-mountable device server that connects eight serial ports to an IP network. It provides two Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports and a management port for remote access to serial equipment. The unit operates on a 36 to 72 V DC power input range.
IT teams managing legacy serial gear
Suits administrators who need secure, centralised console access to routers, switches or industrial devices over the LAN. Not for environments that require AC mains power without an external converter. Buyers needing more than eight serial connections should consider a higher-port-count model.
36 to 72 V DC input range
The server only accepts direct current between 36 and 72 volts, so the site must provide a compatible DC supply or a suitable AC-to-DC adapter. Confirm the available voltage before ordering to avoid integration issues.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the DSX2-8 with 8 serial ports or a model with fewer ports?
The DSX2-8 provides eight serial ports for connecting multiple devices. Select this model if you need to manage up to eight serial consoles; otherwise a smaller unit may suffice.
What does the Gigabit Ethernet rating mean for daily throughput?
The 10/100/1000Base-T interfaces support up to 1000 Mbps per port. Real-world throughput depends on cable quality, switch capacity and the serial devices attached.
How does the 36-72 V DC input range affect deployment?
The unit accepts any DC source between 36 V and 72 V, so it can run directly from common telecom or industrial power plants without an extra converter.
