Detailed Specifications
Opengear CM8132 - CM8100 Series 32-Port Out-of-Band Console Server
Overview :
The Opengear CM8132 is a high-density, enterprise-grade 32-port console server engineered to deliver secure Smart Out-of-Band (Smart OOB') management across large-scale data centers, hyperscale facilities, and enterprise IT infrastructures.Designed to ensure uninterrupted remote access to critical switches, routers, firewalls, PDUs, and servers, the CM8132 provides a reliable alternative access path during primary network outages.
Driven by a 1.6 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, 2 GB DDR4 RAM, and an embedded Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0), the CM8132 combines advanced hardware security with NetOps automation capabilities.It natively supports containerized tools (such as Docker and Python scripts), allowing network engineers to automate provisioning, configuration management, and routine operational workflows directly at the network edge.Managed centrally through Opengear Lighthouse software, the CM8132 helps organizations streamline IT operations while lowering total cost of ownership.
Key Features :
32 High-Density Serial Ports:Equipped with 32 x RJ45 RS-232 serial ports with Cisco straight X2 pinout for direct connection to network device console ports without adapters.
Redundant Network Connectivity:Features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) supporting network aggregation, redundancy, and automatic failover.
Enterprise-Grade Hardware Security:Integrated TPM 2.0 crypto-processor safeguards encryption keys, system integrity, and boot authentication.
Automation & NetOps Ready: Built-in Python and Docker container support enables edge automation and integration with modern DevOps workflows.
Dual Redundant Power Supplies:Dual internal AC power supplies (IEC C14) with independent monitoring and switches ensure maximum uptime.
Centralized Orchestration:Seamlessly integrates with Opengear Lighthouse for unified management and zero-touch provisioning across large deployments.
