MikroTik Cloud Core Router 2116-12G-4S+ (CCR2116-12G-4S+)

Product Overview

The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ is the flagship high-performance enterprise Cloud Core Router engineered for large-scale ISPs, corporate data centers, campus networks, and heavy BGP edge environments. Powered by a 16-core Annapurna Labs Alpine AL73400 ARM 64-bit CPU running at 2.0 GHz per core, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and 128MB NAND flash storage, it delivers more than double the routing throughput of legacy 36-core CCR1036 models alongside a 6x boost in BGP processing speed. Housed in a 1U rackmount chassis, the MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ features four 10G SFP+ fiber ports, thirteen Gigabit Ethernet ports (12 via Marvell switch chip + 1 direct CPU management port), an M.2 PCIe NVMe slot for container apps/storage, dual redundant AC power supplies, and full RouterOS Level 6 licensing.

MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ Product Features

• MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ incorporates a 16-core Annapurna Labs AL73400 ARM 64-bit CPU (@ 2.0 GHz) to deliver exceptional single-core processing for heavy queues, dynamic routing, and complex firewall rulesets.

• MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ includes four 10G SFP+ fiber cages, each wired directly to a Marvell Aldrin 98DX3255 switch chip via dedicated full-duplex lines to avoid system bottlenecks.

• MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ features twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports split into groups of four with independent full-duplex lines to the switch chip, plus one dedicated direct-to-CPU management port.

• MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ provides an onboard M.2 PCIe slot (supporting NVMe SSDs up to 8TB) alongside a USB 3.0 port to host custom Docker/Linux container applications, ad-blockers, or extensive data logging.

• MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ features hot-swappable dual redundant AC power supplies ($100\text{V} – 240\text{V}$) to ensure non-stop mission-critical uptime for enterprise network cores.

MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ Product Condition

• MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ is sold as Brand New Sealed in original factory packaging with manufacturer security seals intact.

MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ Pros & Benefits

• Double the Performance of CCR1036: Modern 16-core ARM architecture yields twice the real-world routing output and 6x faster BGP table processing than older 36-core Tile devices.

• L3 Hardware Offloading: Hardware-accelerated Layer 3 routing offloads wire-speed packet switching directly to the switch chip, freeing up CPU resources for heavy tasks.

• NVMe & Container Expansion: PCIe M.2 slot allows adding ultra-fast NVMe storage for running resource-heavy RouterOS containers and local caching.

• Mission-Critical Power Security: Built-in dual AC power supply units prevent sudden network outages caused by single circuit or supply failures.
