MikroTik L009UiGS-RM Rackmount Multifunctional Gigabit Router with 2.5G SFP, PoE & RouterOS v7

MikroTik L009UiGS-RM Rackmount Gigabit Router with 2.5G SFP and PoE

The MikroTik L009UiGS-RM is a powerful rackmount Ethernet router designed as a modern upgrade to the legendary RB2011 series. Built with a faster dual-core ARM CPU, more memory, PoE support, USB 3.0, and a 2.5G-capable SFP cage, the L009 delivers higher performance and greater flexibility for small business, ISP, WISP, and advanced home network deployments.

This router features 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, a 2.5G SFP port, PoE-in and PoE-out support, and RouterOS v7 for advanced routing, firewall, VPN, VLAN, traffic shaping, monitoring, and automation. MikroTik positions the L009 series as up to 4x faster than the RB2011, making it a strong choice for users upgrading older MikroTik infrastructure. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The L009UiGS-RM version includes 1U rackmount accessories, making it ideal for clean network cabinet and rack installations. Its compact enclosure is designed so multiple L009 units can fit in a single 1U space, giving installers and network administrators a tidy, scalable layout instead of the usual cable jungle humanity keeps pretending is “temporary.” :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Key Features

• 8 x Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired network connectivity
• 1 x 2.5G SFP cage for fiber or high-speed uplink support
• Dual-core ARM CPU for improved routing performance
• 512 MB RAM for RouterOS v7 features and container support
• PoE-in and PoE-out support for flexible power deployment
• USB 3.0 port for storage, logging, or additional RouterOS use cases
• RouterOS v7 with advanced routing, firewall, VPN, VLAN, and QoS tools
• Compact 1U rackmount design with rackmount accessories included
• Modern RB2011 replacement with improved performance and features

Modern Upgrade from the RB2011 Series

The L009UiGS-RM keeps the practical spirit of the RB2011 while improving the hardware platform for today’s networks. With a modern ARM architecture, more RAM, RouterOS v7 support, and faster SFP connectivity, it is better suited for current routing workloads, VLAN segmentation, VPN services, and network management tasks.

Flexible Connectivity with 2.5G SFP

The integrated SFP cage supports up to 2.5G connectivity, allowing the L009UiGS-RM to connect to fiber uplinks, ISP handoffs, or aggregation switches. Combined with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, it gives network operators a flexible mix of copper and fiber connectivity in a compact rackmount router.

PoE Support for Cleaner Installations

The L009UiGS-RM supports both PoE-in and PoE-out, helping reduce the need for extra power adapters in small deployments. This is especially useful for powering compatible MikroTik devices, access points, or other low-power network equipment directly from the router.

RouterOS v7 for Advanced Network Control

Running RouterOS v7, the MikroTik L009UiGS-RM provides the advanced tools MikroTik is known for, including firewall filtering, NAT, VPN, VLAN management, bandwidth control, dynamic routing, monitoring, scripting, and automation. It also supports container use cases thanks to the ARM platform and expanded memory. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
