Get This Price

For just $861.30, below its 30-day average of $1078.27, this deal lands in solid territory. The unit has traded as low as $634.35 historically, so it is not an all-time low, but it undercuts the recent average by a meaningful margin and beats the 90-day figure of $993.29 by roughly $132.

What You're Getting

The B093-008-2E4U packs eight serial RS-232 console ports that hook into Cisco gear over standard Cat5e/6 patch cable. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports give you primary and failover connectivity, while the unit is validated to FIPS 140-2 standards for data protection.

• 8-port serial console access for routers, switches, and UPS systems
• Dual Gigabit primary and failover network ports
• FIPS 140-2 validated for secure remote access
• Heavy-duty steel housing with 19-inch rack mounting brackets
• 4-year warranty and TAA-compliant for government purchases

Who This Is For

Best for network admins and IT departments managing serial-based equipment across multiple sites who need one secure gateway for out-of-band management. If you are running a small home lab or only touch a couple of devices. This is overkill, and the lower-priced 1-port or 4-port models make more sense.

Final Verdict

If you need centralized, remote control of out-of-band gear right now, the $861.30 price is a genuine cut versus what this model has fetched over the past month. It is not chasing the historical low, but for a FIPS-validated, TAA-compliant 8-port unit. This is a fair price to move on.
