MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ Cloud Core Router

Power Your Network Infrastructure with the MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+

Eliminate processing bottlenecks from your 10G networking topologies. The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ Cloud Core Router is meticulously architected to unleash the absolute limit of ultra-high-speed data distribution. Driven by an advanced 16-core ARM architecture, this enterprise-grade Ethernet router sets a formidable performance benchmark tailored directly for ISPs, heavy multi-tenant office structures, and data-heavy corporate cores.

Whether managing massive dynamic BGP routing updates, executing complex firewall rule chains, orchestrating Quality of Service (QoS) shapes, or driving extensive per-user queues, the CCR2116-12G-4S+ executes operations effortlessly. It yields up to double the internal processing throughput compared to historic 36-core CCR options, providing an incredible 6x boost to BGP task handling speeds.

Key Hardware Features:

• 16-Core Annapurna Labs Alpine CPU: Houses an AL73400 processor clocked at 2 GHz per core. This delivers a massive 15% increase in localized single-core operations—the exact metric driving heavy connection queues and complex state calculations.
• Layer 3 Hardware Offloading: Achieves genuine wire-speed switching matrix paths over fundamental routing tasks, offloading stress completely from the main computing logic.
• Non-Blocking 10G Interconnects: Fitted with 4x 10G SFP+ cages running straight along an independent, full-duplex data path directly into the powerful onboard Marvell Prestera matrix switch chip.
• Comprehensive Interface Layout: Offers 12x Gigabit Ethernet copper ports passing directly through internal switching logic, paired with 1x separate, standalone Gigabit Ethernet interface mapped directly to the processor for isolated out-of-band management.
• Hot-Swappable Power Supplies: Engineered with dual-redundant internal power supply units (100-240V AC) preventing service drop-outs and unexpected infrastructure power failures.
• M.2 NVMe Storage Expansion: Includes an onboard M.2 PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 bay accommodating standard 2280 NVMe SSD drives for logging databases, memory proxy caching, or running local virtualized containers.
• Optimized for RouterOS v7: Fully integrated to run exclusively on the modern, high-stability RouterOS v7 network engine operating system with a high-tier License Level 6 clearance.
• Cloud Core Router 2116-12G-4S+ with Amazon Annapurna Labs Alpine v3 AL73400 CPU (16-cores, 2GHz per core) and Marvell 98DX3255 switch-chip, 16GB RAM, 4xSFP+ cage, 13xGbit LAN, M.2 PCIe slot, RouterOS L6, 1U rackmount case, Dual PSU
