MikroTik L009UiGS-RM Wired Router 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Red
Product Overview
The MikroTik L009UiGS-RM is an enterprise-grade, wired-only rackmount router engineered as the modern, high-performance successor to the classic RB2011 series. Housed in a signature red fanless aluminum enclosure with included 1U rackmount accessories, it is powered by a dual-core 800 MHz ARM IPQ-5018 CPU, 512MB RAM, and 128MB NAND storage. Running RouterOS v7 with a Level 5 license, it provides up to $4\times$ the routing performance of older generations. Equipped with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, a 2.5G-capable SFP cage, a USB 3.0 port for LTE modems or container apps (such as Pi-hole), and PoE In/Out capabilities, the MikroTik L009UiGS-RM delivers exceptional wired routing density for server rooms and network cabinets.
