Overview:
The Opengear CM8148-10G-DDC is a high-density 48-port console server from the CM8100 series, designed for secure out-of-band (OOB) management and network automation in large enterprise data centers and colocation facilities . This model is specifically configured with 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplinks and dual DC power inputs (designated by the “-10G-DDC” suffix) for high-speed network connectivity and environments relying on -48V DC power distribution .
Network engineers and data center operations teams use this appliance to maintain resilient, remote access to network infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls, servers) during primary network outages. The CM8148-10G-DDC features 48 RS-232 RJ45 serial ports with Cisco straight pinout, two 1GbE copper interfaces, and two 10GbE SFP+ fiber interfaces for high-speed management network connectivity . It is powered by a 1.6 GHz dual-core Marvell ARM processor with 2 GB of DDR4 RAM and 32 GB of eMMC flash storage, supporting advanced automation via Python, Perl, Bash, and Docker containerization .
Deployment is in a 1U rack-mountable half-depth form factor with passive cooling . Security features include a TPM 2.0 module, embedded firewall, IPSec/OpenVPN, and AAA support (TACACS+, RADIUS, LDAP) . This unit is specifically designed for mission-critical data center environments requiring high-speed 10G uplinks and DC power. It is not suitable for AC-only facilities or deployments without SFP+ infrastructure.
