Old fashioned terminal servers are still the best way to remotely manage a rack of UNIX/Linux servers.

The TS1000 with 17 asynchronous RS-232 (RJ-45F) ports and one 100Mbps Ethernet is pretty nice. It runs a Linux 2.4 kernel, on a PowerPC chip, has loads of functionality (SNMP, SSHv2, HTTPS etc.)

Unfortunately, as there is no universal standard for running RS-232 using 8 pin RJ-45 connectors and 8 wire cables (i.e. CAT-5 Ethernet), you may have some work cut out for you when it comes to connecting your terminal server and your servers. Or, you might be able to find appropriate cables, but they will be expensive relative to the cost of the used terminal server itself.

One way to avoid the cost of proprietary cables is to make your own RJ-45M to DB-9F adapters. This will enable you to use any straight through 8 wire cable you happen to have.

Using such an adapter with the TS1000, the following illustration shows the necessary pin connections:
