Vertiv ACS8048NADAC400 48-port server rack

48-port serial console server

The Vertiv Avocent ACS8000 Cellular advanced serial console server provides secure in-band and out-of-band management for downstream equipment in enterprise data centers, cloud facilities and colocation sites. Its cellular capabilities maintain access when wired networks are unavailable or have failed. This system acts as a secure gateway and single point of entry for critical IT infrastructure during partial or total outages. Environmental monitoring and IoT integration extend its utility to edge locations and hyperscale environments.

Dual AC power with cellular failover

Dual AC power inputs supply redundancy for continuous operation in demanding facilities. Cellular connectivity activates automatically when primary wired links go down, preserving remote access to attached devices. The architecture supports secure management traffic without adding active cooling requirements beyond the rack environment. Power draw scales with the number of active serial sessions and attached peripherals.

Rack enclosure with 48 serial ports

The unit mounts in a standard rack enclosure and presents 48 serial ports for direct device attachment. Dual AC inlets and cellular antennas require clear rear access for cables and signal reception. Dense port layout simplifies cable routing but demands careful labelling during installation. Build quality targets continuous operation in enterprise, colocation and edge deployments.
