The MikroTik L009UiGS-RM is a compact and powerful wired router built to replace the iconic RB2011 series with up to four times the performance efficiency. Engineered for small-to-medium business networks, ISP client access, and server racks, it offers robust routing capabilities, high port density, and flexible fiber integration in a space-saving 1U rackmount chassis.
At the heart of the L009UiGS-RM is a modern dual-core ARM IPQ-5018 processor running at 800 MHz, paired with 512 MB RAM and 128 MB NAND storage. This updated architecture provides hardware-accelerated IPsec encryption and efficient traffic management. The router features 8x Gigabit Ethernet ports, where Port 1 supports Passive PoE-in and Port 8 provides PoE-out to power external network equipment (such as access points or cameras). For high-speed fiber or high-density network links, it includes 1x SFP cage that supports both 1.25G SFP and 2.5G SFP modules.
Housed in a distinctive red aluminum desktop/rackmount casing, the enclosure acts as a giant heat sink to ensure completely silent, fanless operation. The innovative chassis design allows up to four L009UiGS-RM routers to be mounted side-by-side in a single 1U rack space using dedicated mounting accessories. Driven by MikroTik RouterOS Level 5, it supports extensive routing protocols, firewall rules, VLAN configurations, VPN tunnels, and containerized applications.
Comprehensive Key Features
Up to 4x Faster Routing Performance: Dual-core 800 MHz ARM processor significantly outpaces previous-generation RB2011 routers.
8x Gigabit Ethernet & 2.5G SFP Cage: Provides 8 Gigabit RJ45 ports for local LAN devices plus a 2.5G SFP cage for high-capacity fiber uplinks.
