Where to place the Console Server:

The enclosure of the Console Server is designed for stand-alone or rack-mount configuration. The Console Server can be mounted to a standard 19-inch server rack using the included rack-mount brackets and screws.

Consider the following when deciding where to place the Console Server:

the location of your target devices in relation to your console

the lengths of the cables you use to connect your devices to the console

the power source - Connect only to the power source specified on the unit.

When multiple electrical components are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit capabilities.

Cable-Length Requirements (for CAT5)

Serial binary data signals (RS232) transmit best up to distances of 50 feet (15m). Beyond that length, the probability of signal degradation increases. For this reason, Belkin recommends that the length of the CAT5 UTP cable between the Console Server and the connected servers does not exceed 50 feet (15m).

Cables and Adapters

Belkin highly recommends you use Belkin Category 5e, FastCAT5e, or Category 6 Patch Cables for your Console Server to help ensure the signal integrity.

Belkin UTP Patch Cables:

A3L791-XX-YYY (CAT5e)

A3L850-XX-YYY (FastCAT™ 5e)

A3L980-XX-YYY (CAT6)
