MikroTik created the perfect home lab router: compact, powerful, with multiple powering solutions and efficient cooling. RB5009 has it all, and even more!
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 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 CPU and the switch-chip are located on the bottom of the board - so the case acts as a massive heat-sink!
RB5009UG+S+IN can be powered in 3 different ways: PoE-in from Ethernet port, DC jack, 2-pin terminal on the side.
Boards offer large DDR4 RAM and NAND storage. This combination of ports and components, compared to the other products in a similar form factor, provides almost double the performance in configurations with heavy CPU loads.
You can mount four of these routers in a single 1U rackmount space! No more server-room-Tetris, just pure productivity.
