This version of the RB5009 has all the bells and whistles of the previous model: Gigabit Ethernet, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and a 10 Gigabit SFP+ cage for fiber connectivity. It has speed, performance and durability. This time, however, we have included PoE-in and PoE-out functions on all eight Ethernet ports. Combined with the two-pin connector and the DC connector, you get 10 different power supply modes. Dual redundant power supplies would usually take uninterrupted uptime to the next level. The RB5009UPr+S+IN takes this one step further!

All power supply options support a wide voltage range, 24 - 57 V. However, you cannot mix voltages. If you use PoE-out to power other devices, the card selects the highest voltage source (DC jack or the 2-pin connector) to power them.

Each PoE-out port can provide up to 25 W of power. All ports are limited to a combined 130W, which should be sufficient for most setups. If necessary, you can manually enter the maximum available power of the power sources. As for PoE-out functions, the new RB5009 can compete with our legendary PoE switches: CRS354 AND CRS328. In the smallest possible form factor and at the best price on the market!

Protect your uptime, protect your peace of mind!

What exactly happens if there is a problem with one of the power sources? Here's a quick example: 24V on the DC connector, 48V on the 2-pin connector, and 57V on the PoE-in. The card itself receives power from the highest voltage input - the PoE-in. If a problem occurs, the RB5009 will fall back to the second highest voltage - the 2-pin connector. And if that doesn't work - there is the 24V option on the DC connector.

What about PoE-out devices? Again - the highest voltage wins. PoE-out devices take power from the 48 V source on the 2-pin connector. If that fails - the 24V power supply on the DC connector comes into play. The card always reserves 20 watts for itself. If there is not enough power available for all PoE output ports, it will start disabling the lowest priority ones. You can also set the port priority manually.

This tiny form factor shines anywhere from cramped research facilities and offices to huge corporate server rooms. And don't forget that you can fit FOUR of these routers in a single 1U rack.

With the new RB5009, we want to enable all small and medium-sized Internet providers who are always looking for the most cost-effective and robust solutions. It is a perfect addition to our previous GPEN devices - the product line designed to replace expensive GPON solutions.
