Opengear OM2224‑24E‑10G‑L 24‑Port OOB Console & Ethernet Server

Overview

The Opengear OM2224‑24E‑10G‑L is a rack‑mount network infrastructure management appliance that combines high‑density console server functionality with switched Ethernet and high‑speed 10 GbE uplinks. It is deployed by data center operations, network engineers, and systems administrators to maintain reliable out‑of‑band (OOB) access, secure remote management, and automation of critical network gear even when production networks fail. The platform supports mixed console and Ethernet device access with elevated bandwidth and resilience compared to traditional OOB devices.

This model integrates an x86‑class AMD GX‑412TC quad‑core processor at ~1.4 GHz, 8 GB of DDR3 system memory, and 64 GB of internal storage for firmware, logging, and automation applications. It includes full support for scripting and containerized tooling (e.g., Python, Docker) to automate management tasks and integrate with centralized infrastructure workflows.

OM2224‑24E‑10G‑L features a combination of 24 RJ45 RS‑232 console ports, 24 managed 10/100/1000 Base‑T Ethernet ports, and dual SFP+ 10 GbE uplinks to bridge both legacy serial console access and modern high‑speed network connectivity. In addition, a standard Gigabit RJ45 management port is included, enabling flexible integration into existing network topologies.

The unit also provides global LTE‑A cellular connectivity for redundant remote access in environments where wired out‑of‑band links are unavailable or compromised; this supports on‑site troubleshooting, automated recovery, and remote firmware management under network duress.

This appliance is intended for critical infrastructure zones, central IDFs, core / aggregation network racks, and remote sites where consolidated console access, secure management, and high‑speed Ethernet uplinks are required. It is not a general data plane switch; its role is to support management connectivity, automation, and resilience workflows, not production traffic switching.
