Cisco OOB management gear - partial

I will like to have a partial out of band solution for my Cisco environment - like a terminal server device, etc. Meaning not willing to commit on a separate service (ISP) to connect to my equipment.

3 campuses connected via leased dark fiber, each location has it's own core router 6800/4500x VSS that connect to access switch's 4500's. Within the campus, each switch is connected via the fiber panel to the core, there are additional spare fibers - 12 pairs.

I won't mind just having OOB access to the 4500 switches to console, reboot, etc. Maybe a terminal server device of the core router and run cables to the access switches via console or? thing is some of the access switches are in different locations.

I just need to reach the equipment SUPERVISOR module from terminal type equipment. We do have a terminal, but this is within the datacenter, not connecting to equipment on the 5th or 3rd floor, etc.... What is good solution equipment-wise
