AURORA, OH: Network Technologies Inc today announced the addition of a vastly improved SERIMUX® Console Serial Switch to its popular line of console switches.

The SERIMUX Console Switch gives IT managers the ability to cost effectively manage serial devices, including servers, switches, routers, and telecom gear. The switch is controlled via an ASCII terminal with menu-driven integrated software or the front panel keypad.

The console switch allows you to connect up to 32 serial devices with different baud rates, parity, and character length. Each switch also has one RJ45 connector for a local terminal. The SERIMUX-CS-x Console Switch provides out-of-band access to any network device that allows console operation using RS232. It connects to console serial ports using standard CAT5/5e/6 cable and cable adapters. The switch fits in a standard 1RU rackmount case.

The SERIMUX Console Switch is immediately available in 8, 16, 24 and 32 port models, priced from $740 to $1,545.
