Chapter 1.4 – Nomenclature
RouterBOARD Product Nomenclature
The names of the routers are chosen according to characteristics, and based on an established nomenclature. The abbreviation for RouterBOARD is RB

Format for product nomenclature
Board name
Currently there are 3 types of card names:
- 3 digit number
- The first digit represents the series
- The second digit indicates the number of potential wired interfaces (Ethernet, SFP, SFP+)
- The third digit indicates the number of potential wireless interfaces (embedded cards, and mPCI and mPCIe slots)
- Using a word (word).- The names currently used are:
- OmniTIK
- Groove
- SXT
- SEXTANT
- METAL
- LHG
- DynaDish
- chap
- wAP
- LDF
- DISC
- mANTBox
- QRT
- DynaDish
- chap
- hAP
- hEX
- If the board undergoes a fundamental hardware change (such as a completely different CPU) a version revision will be added to the end
- Exceptional names.- The 600, 800, 1000, 1100, 1200, 2011 cards independently represent the series, or have more than 9 wired interfaces, so the names were simplified to total hundreds or the year of development.
Card Features
The card characteristics follow the Card Name section (without spaces or dashes), except when the card name is a word. Then the characteristics of the card are separated by a space. The features currently used are the following. They are listed in the order in which they are most used.
- U:USB
- P: Power Injection with Controller
- i: Single Port Power Injector without Controller
- A: More memory (and usually the highest license level)
- H: A more powerful CPU
- G: Gigabit (may include U, A, H if not used with L)
- L: Light Edition
- S: SFP port (legacy use – SwitchOS devices)
- e : PCIe extension card
- x : Where N is the number of CPU cores (x2, x9, x16, x36, x72, etc.)
- A: Mini PCI or mini PCIe slot
