96-port Cisco console server
The Opengear CM7196A-2-DAC-US is a rack-mountable console server with 96 serial ports using Cisco straight pinout. It provides out-of-band management for dense network infrastructure through dual Gigabit Ethernet links and a Marvell processor running at 800 MHz. The unit includes 1.95 GB of DDR3 memory and 4 GB of flash storage.
Network teams managing Cisco fleets
This server suits administrators who need single-pane access to dozens of Cisco routers, switches or firewalls over twisted-pair cabling. It is not for environments that require wireless connectivity, PoE-powered serial ports or RJ-11 modem interfaces. Teams needing fewer than 96 ports or a different pinout should evaluate other models.
96 serial ports with Cisco pinout
The defining specification is the 96 RJ-45 serial ports wired to Cisco straight pinout, enabling direct cabling to standard Cisco console ports. Dual AC power supplies and dual 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports provide redundant connectivity. The 1U chassis measures 1.8 inches high, 17 inches wide and 6.9 inches deep.

Questions sur cet article
How do I mount the CM7196A-2-DAC-US in a rack and which cable kit items should I use for Cisco straight pinout?
Use the included two-ear rack-mount kit and screws to secure the 1.8-inch-high chassis; then connect the 319014 DB9F-RJ45 straight cables for the 96 Cisco straight serial ports.
What replaceable components will need attention after extended operation?
The dual AC power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units; flash storage and DDR3 SDRAM are soldered and not user-serviceable.
At what throughput does the management network saturate during heavy console logging?
The two 10/100/1000Base-T ports limit aggregate management traffic to 2 GbE, which fills first under sustained high-volume serial logging.
