Keep legacy infrastructure reachable when direct access is not practical. Digi Connect EZ 16 gives operations teams 16 RS-232 serial ports for consolidating console access across routers, switches, servers, and industrial equipment. Dual AC power inputs add a second path for uptime planning, reducing the risk of a single power event taking the management plane offline. This model is built for environments where serial access remains essential and downtime is expensive. It fits naturally into rack-based deployments and gives administrators a cleaner way to manage distributed equipment without sending technicians to the floor. For teams maintaining mixed-generation infrastructure, the value is straightforward: fewer truck rolls, faster recovery, and better control over devices that do not support modern remote management. Choose this configuration when you need dense serial connectivity and power redundancy in a single console server. It is a practical fit for data centers, network closets, and industrial control rooms where dependable out-of-band access is worth more than a lower-spec alternative.
