MikroTik L009UiGS-RM is a compact, rackmount-ready RouterOS v7 router designed for small and medium-sized networks that need Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, 2.5G SFP capability, PoE input/output, and modern ARM-based processing. It uses a dual-core IPQ-5018 CPU at 800 MHz, 512 MB DDR3L RAM, and 128 MB NAND storage, providing a significant hardware upgrade over older MikroTik RouterBOARD platforms.
The L009UiGS-RM is the non-wireless version of the L009 series. Unlike the L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN, this RM model does not include built-in Wi-Fi. It is designed for wired routing, firewall, VLAN, VPN, network management, and compact rack deployments. The RM package includes rackmount accessories, making it suitable for professional network cabinets and server rooms.

8× Gigabit Ethernet for Wired Networks
The MikroTik L009UiGS-RM provides eight 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports. This makes it suitable for office networks, branch routers, managed network environments, VLAN segmentation, firewall deployments and small infrastructure cabinets.
Ether1 is used for PoE input, while Ether8 provides passive PoE output. The remaining Ethernet ports can be used for LAN devices, switches, access points, servers, IP phones and other network equipment.
2.5G SFP Uplink
One of the major upgrades in the L009 series is the inclusion of an SFP port supporting up to 2.5 Gigabit connectivity. This allows the router to connect to compatible fiber modules, SFP cables or high-speed network equipment.
The 2.5G SFP interface can be useful as an uplink toward a faster aggregation switch while the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports continue to serve local network devices.
Dual-Core ARM CPU and 512MB RAM
The L009UiGS-RM uses a dual-core IPQ-5018 CPU clocked at 800 MHz and includes 512 MB DDR3L RAM. The modern ARM-based platform provides a substantial hardware improvement over older MIPS-based MikroTik routers.
The additional processing capability is useful for RouterOS functions such as firewall rules, routing, VLANs, VPN services, queues, filtering and other network-management workloads.
RouterOS v7 with License Level 5
The router comes with MikroTik RouterOS v7 and a Level 5 license. RouterOS provides a comprehensive networking platform rather than simply basic routing.
Depending on configuration, the L009UiGS-RM can be used for:
- Internet gateway and WAN routing
- Firewall and NAT
- VLAN routing and segmentation
- DHCP and DNS services
- Static and dynamic routing
- VPN connectivity
- Bandwidth management and queues
- Traffic filtering
- Network monitoring and administration
- Container-based applications supported by RouterOS
PoE-In and Passive PoE-Out
Ether1 supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE-In, allowing the router to receive power through a compatible PoE source. The device also has a 24–56V DC power input.
Ether8 provides passive PoE-Out. It can supply power to a compatible passive-PoE device, but it is important to note that the PoE-Out function is passive rather than IEEE 802.3af/at PoE-Out.
MikroTik specifies up to 1A total PoE-Out, with the output current depending on the DC input voltage. PoE-Out works when the router is powered through the DC jack. Always verify the voltage and power requirements of the connected device before using passive PoE-Out.
USB 3.0 and Expansion
The L009UiGS-RM includes a full-size USB 3.0 Type-A port with up to 1.5A USB current. The USB interface can be used with compatible peripherals and supported RouterOS applications, including expansion options such as USB LTE modems.
Compact Rackmount Design
The L009UiGS-RM has a compact 220 × 125 × 22 mm chassis. The RM version is supplied with rackmount accessories and is designed for efficient installation in network cabinets.
The L009 enclosure also functions as a heatsink and uses passive cooling, eliminating the need for an internal cooling fan. MikroTik designed the L009 mounting system to make high-density rack installation possible, including configurations where multiple L009 units can occupy a compact 1U rack space with the appropriate mounting arrangement.
