The Black Box LES1516A is a 16-port serial console server for IT teams that need network-based access to Cisco-pinout RS-232 devices, such as routers and switches. It provides remote console management through SSH or a web interface.
Recommended For

- IT teams managing equipment across a data room or communications site who want browser- or SSH-based access to serial consoles without being physically at each device.
- Operations teams that want a dedicated management network or network failover path for reaching attached serial devices during outages on the primary network.
