Product overview
The Cisco 8-Port high-density asynchronous Console cable is supplied under part number CAB-ASYNC-8. Remote console over IP has to coexist with the out-of-band management already on the server, and duplicating it is a common waste. Tell us what iLO, iDRAC or IPMI already covers and we will say plainly whether this adds anything.
Ask for the datasheet and firmware notes with the quote; we would rather you check our claim than take it.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against CAB-ASYNC-8 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Interface modules counted
The per-server modules are quoted with the switch, since they are the part that is always forgotten.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is CAB-ASYNC-8 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
- Will CAB-ASYNC-8 work in my server?
- Send us the server model or service tag and we will confirm before you order. Part numbers alone do not always settle it — firmware revision and platform generation matter, and this is the check that prevents a return.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.
