MikroTik L009UiGS-RM – High-Performance ARM Router with PoE, 2.5G SFP & Rackmount Kit

The MikroTik L009UiGS-RM is a high-performance ARM router designed for modern business networks and ISPs. With a dual-core ARM CPU, hardware IPsec encryption, Gigabit Ethernet ports, PoE support, and a 2.5G SFP port, it delivers unmatched speed and flexibility in a compact 1U rackmount form factor.

🚀 Next-Generation Performance

At its core, the L009 is powered by a dual-core ARM CPU, delivering a major performance boost for routing, firewall filtering, bridging, and advanced RouterOS features. Compared to older MIPS-based platforms, the ARM architecture enables better efficiency, access to modern Linux kernel features, and support for containerized applications.

In real-world scenarios, the L009 can deliver up to four times the performance of RB2011, handling everything from fast-path routing to complex firewall rules with ease. Hardware-accelerated IPsec encryption significantly reduces CPU load, ensuring stable performance even with secure VPN traffic.

🧩 Containers, USB & Expansion

Thanks to its ARM CPU and full-size USB port, the L009 supports custom projects using RouterOS containers. Deploy tools such as ad-blocking services, monitoring utilities, or connect an external LTE modem via USB — giving network administrators maximum flexibility without extra hardware.

🔌 Modern Connectivity & PoE

All Ethernet ports on the L009 are Gigabit Ethernet, eliminating legacy speed limitations. The router supports:

• PoE-in on the first Ethernet port for flexible power options
• PoE-out on the last port to power other devices such as access points or IP phones
• An integrated SFP cage supporting both 1G and 2.5G connectivity
• A dedicated console port for quick configuration and troubleshooting

⚙️ Advanced Switching Architecture

The L009 is built around a Marvell Peridot switch chip, providing a 2.5G full-duplex connection between the CPU and all Ethernet ports (except Ether1, which has its own dedicated Gigabit link). This enables flexible configurations with minimal bottlenecks, even under heavy traffic.

🗄️ Smart Rack-Mount Design

The rack-mount enclosure is compact yet highly efficient. Its metal case acts as a large heat sink, improving thermal performance and long-term reliability. The included mounting system allows up to four L009 units to fit into a single 1U rack space, maximizing space in crowded server rooms.

For ultimate efficiency, the L009 pairs perfectly with MikroTik’s RB5009 PoE-out routers, enabling clean power distribution and ultra-dense rack deployments.

🏆 The Ideal RB2011 Upgrade

The RB2011 remains a classic, but the L009UiGS-RM is its modern successor. With better speed, more features, lower power consumption, and smarter rack utilization, it’s designed to save time, space, and operational costs.

If you’re upgrading an existing network or building a new one, the MikroTik L009UiGS-RM delivers enterprise-level capability at an unbeatable value.
