Tripp Lite Modular Serial Adapter (DB9 M to RJ45 F)

The Tripp Lite B090-A9M is a modular serial adapter that lets you link a DB9 serial port on a compatible Tripp Lite UPS to the RJ45 console port on a B096-016 or B096-048 console server. By bridging these two connections, the adapter makes it easy to place your power backup hardware under the same remote IP management umbrella as the rest of the network.

Installation is uncomplicated. Snap the adapter onto a standard Cat5 or Cat6 patch cable, attach the DB9 male side to the UPS, and connect the RJ45 female jack to the console server. No drivers or special software are required, so the setup can be handled quickly by anyone familiar with basic rack work.

Once connected, administrators can view status information, issue commands, and perform routine maintenance tasks from any location with network access. This remote visibility is valuable in branch offices, data centers, or edge closets where on-site visits are costly or inconvenient. The adapter’s small footprint fits neatly in crowded racks or tight cable runs, and its passive design adds no additional points of failure.

If you oversee multiple UPS units, need to streamline out-of-band management, or are rolling out centralized monitoring for disaster recovery planning, this adapter offers a simple path to unified control without replacing existing hardware.
