MikroTik CCR2116 – 12G – 4S+

MikroTik CCR2116 – 12G – 4S+

Stop worrying about CPU limitations in your 10G networking setup. The CCR2116-12G-4S+ is a powerhouse designed to eliminate bottlenecks, featuring the mighty Amazon Annapurna Labs Alpine CPU. This router is built for ISPs, data centers, and heavy enterprise use where high-speed routing and complex configurations are the daily standard.

Why the MikroTik CCR2116 – 12G – 4S+ Stands Out

While its predecessor (the CCR2004) was a breakthrough, the CCR2116 takes performance to a whole new level. By doubling the core count and utilizing a sophisticated 16-core ARM 64-bit architecture, it delivers at least a 15% increase in single-core performance—critical for heavy processing tasks like per-connection queuing.

Key Performance Features

• The Powerhouse CPU: Equipped with an AL73400 16-core processor running at 2 GHz.

• Massive Throughput: Features four 10G SFP+ ports and twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports for versatile connectivity.

• High-Speed RAM: 16 GB of DDR4 RAM ensures smooth handling of massive routing tables and BGP feeds.

• Redundancy Built-In: Dual-redundant power supplies keep your network uptime at 100%, even if a PSU fails.

• M.2 PCIe Slot: Future-proof your storage for containers, proxies, or logging.

Technical Specifications

The RouterOS v7 Advantage

The CCR2116 is optimized specifically for RouterOS v7. This combination unlocks advanced routing protocols, ultra-stable BGP, and complex firewall configurations without breaking a sweat. Whether you are running a massive VPN concentrator or managing a complex ISP core, this hardware is ready for the challenge.

Pro Tip: The 12 Gigabit ports are connected through a high-speed switch chip directly to the CPU, ensuring you don’t lose a single packet during internal switching.
