The Perfect Home Lab Router

The MikroTik RB5009UG+S+IN is their first purpose-built home lab router. Compact but powerful, the RB5009UG+S+IN features multiple powering options as well as an efficient cooling system.

The board features 9 wired ports and a full-sized USB 3.0. Seven of the ports are Gigabit Ethernet, another one is 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and the last one is a 10G SFP+ cage. All of the ports are connected to a powerful Marvell Amethyst family switch-chip with a 10 Gbps full-duplex line leading to the Marvell Armada Quad-core ARMv8 1.4 GHz CPU.

Both the CPU and the switch-chip are located on the bottom of the board allowing the case to act as a heat sink and keep the unit cool.

Boards come with 1GB of DDR4 RAM and 1GB NAND storage. This combination of ports and components, compared to our other products in a similar form factor, provides almost double the performance in configurations with heavy CPU loads.

Multiple Powering Options

There are three powering options available for the RB5009UG+S+IN:

- PoE-In via Ethernet Port #1 (802.3af/at or 24-57v passive)

- 24-57V DC Jack

- 24-57V 2-Pin Terminal
