MIKROTIK Router CCR2116-12G-4S+

Product Description

The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ is a high-performance Cloud Core Router built for enterprise networks and data centers that need serious 10G throughput without CPU bottlenecks. Powered by a 16-core Amazon Annapurna Labs Alpine CPU running at 2GHz, it sets a new benchmark for single-core performance in the CCR lineup — a critical advantage for per-connection processing tasks like queues and complex firewall rules — while its four 10G SFP+ ports and twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports provide the connectivity to match.

Key Features

• 16-core Alpine CPU at 2GHz — delivers at least 15% higher single-core performance than previous CCR models, ideal for heavy per-connection processing like queues and firewall rules
• Layer 3 Hardware Offloading — accelerates routing performance by offloading Layer 3 tasks from the CPU
• Four dedicated 10G SFP+ ports — each with a separate full-duplex line to the Marvell Aldrin switch chip for true 10Gbps fiber connectivity
• Twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports — grouped in sets of four, each group with its own dedicated full-duplex connection to the switch chip, delivering switch-like throughput with no bottlenecks
• M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 slot — supports NVMe M.2 2280 SSDs with no capacity limitation, useful for logging, containers, and future RouterOS features
• Dual redundant power supplies — improves uptime and reliability for critical network infrastructure
• Rack-mountable 1U design — includes rack mounting hardware, or can be used as a standalone desktop unit
• RouterOS included — licensed operating system preinstalled, with free software updates for the life of the product (minimum 5 years)
