16-Port Console Server

The Opengear CM7116-2-DAC-US is a CM7100 series console server with sixteen serial ports, dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, two USB ports, and 4 GB of flash storage. It provides secure out-of-band management for network, server, and power infrastructure in data centres and remote sites. Administrators gain access via SSH or an integrated HTTPS AJAX web terminal.

Serial Port Capacity

The unit supports a maximum of forty-eight serial ports across the CM7100 product line, with this model fixed at sixteen ports using Cisco-straight cabling. Environments requiring thirty-two or forty-eight ports must select a different CM7100 configuration. The sixteen-port limit defines the number of devices that can be managed directly from this appliance.

Management Headroom

Dual Gigabit Ethernet links provide redundant network paths for the management plane, while 4 GB of flash stores firmware and configuration data. The platform handles routine console access, power control, and diagnostic tasks for the connected serial devices. Extremely large-scale deployments exceeding the port count or flash capacity will require additional appliances.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16-port, 32-port or 48-port CM7100 model?

The CM7116-2-DAC-US provides 16 serial ports; the CM7100 family also offers 32-port and 48-port versions, so select the port count that matches the number of devices you need to manage out-of-band.

What does the 16-port count mean for daily operations?

Sixteen serial ports let you connect up to sixteen routers, switches, firewalls or PDUs simultaneously, giving secure console access to each device from a single appliance.

How does the dual AC power design affect deployment?

Dual AC power inputs provide redundant feeds, so the console server stays online even if one power source fails, improving resilience in rack installations.
