Opengear CM8132 CM8100 32-Port Serial Console Server

The Opengear CM8132 is a CM8100 Series 32-port serial console server designed for secure out-of-band management across data centers, enterprise networks, and edge locations. Its Smart Out-of-Band capabilities help IT teams maintain access to critical network, server, and infrastructure equipment even when primary network connectivity is unavailable. The rack-mountable device provides centralized administration for distributed environments and supports scalable management through Opengear Lighthouse® Software.

Built for automation and operational efficiency, the CM8132 supports REST API integrations, Docker containerized applications, and Python scripting. These capabilities allow administrators to automate routine tasks, integrate management workflows with existing tools, and deploy applications across supported platforms. Port auto-discovery simplifies initial setup by helping identify connected devices, configure serial settings, and assign port labels.

Enterprise-grade security is supported by a hardware-based TPM 2.0 module with secure boot capabilities. Dual power supplies with independent monitoring provide added resilience for critical installations, while the included C14 power cables help simplify deployment. Select CM8100 models support 10Gb SFP+ uplinks, 5G cellular connectivity, and software-defined serial ports, offering additional flexibility for high-speed network access, reliable remote connectivity, and installations where serial adapters are not preferred. The Opengear CM8132 delivers a practical foundation for centralized console access, infrastructure automation, and secure remote operations.
