Opengear CM8132-10G – CM8100-10G Series 32-Port Console Manager (32 Serial, 2x 10G SFP+, Dual 1GbE, Redundant AC)

Overview :

The Opengear CM8132-10G is a high-density, enterprise-grade console manager engineered to provide secure Smart Out-of-Band (Smart OOB™) management and NetOps automation for high-density rack environments, hyper-scale data centers, and enterprise edge networks. Featuring 32 software-selectable RJ45 RS-232 serial ports, high-speed dual 10G SFP+ fiber uplinks, and dual 1GbE Ethernet copper ports, the CM8132-10G ensures uninterrupted remote management connectivity across high-bandwidth infrastructure.

Powered by a 1.6 GHz dual-core Marvell Armada ARM processor, 2 GB DDR4 RAM, 32 GB eMMC flash storage, and an embedded Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0), the CM8132-10G is optimized for modern NetOps and DevOps workflows. Network engineers can host Python scripts and Docker containerized applications directly on the appliance for automated provisioning and continuous monitoring. Managed centrally through Opengear Lighthouse software, the CM8132-10G provides scalable physical security, automated port discovery, and zero-touch deployment across enterprise IT footprints.

Key Features :
