MikroTik Router CCR2004-16G-2S+ | High-Performance 16-Port Cloud Core Router

MikroTik Router CCR2004-16G-2S+

MikroTik Router CCR2004-16G-2S+ This powerful and affordable router crushes all previous CCR models in single-core performance. 16x Gigabit Ethernet ports, 2x10G SFP+ cages, active cooling and the best single-core performance per watt & best overall performance per watt among all the CCR devices.

Like the other models in CCR2004 series, this CCR also features the Annapurna Labs Alpine v2 CPU with 4x 64-bit ARMv8-A Cortex-A57 cores running at 1,7GHz. But here’s the difference. This powerful router crushes all previous CCR models in single-core performance, and that is the most important aspect when it comes to heavy operations based on per-connection processing. Like queues, for example.But that’s not all! It also has the best single-core performance per watt and best overall performance per watt among all the CCR devices. Better for the planet, better for the bills, it’s a win-win!

The new router features 18 wired ports, including 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G SFP+ cages. It also comes with an RJ-45 console port conveniently placed on the front panel.

Like all CCR devices, it’s housed in a classic white 1U rackmount case. For added reliability, it includes built-in dual redundant power supplies, giving you one less thing to worry about.

To maintain optimal performance, the router uses active cooling. Each group of 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports connects to a separate Marvell Amethyst switch chip, ensuring dedicated bandwidth without congestion.

Each switch chip has a 10 Gbps full-duplex line to the CPU, and each SFP+ cage is also connected via a separate 10 Gbps line. The board is equipped with 4 GB DDR4 RAM and 128 MB NAND storage, ensuring smooth and responsive operation.

So as you can see – no bottlenecks. As long as the CPU can handle the processing, all ports can reach wire speed. And this CPU is a beast that can handle a lot. If we look at the performance, you can see that it is trading blows with our CCR1009. Even surpassing it in CPU-heavy configurations! And if that wasn’t enough – it can even reach the performance of CCR1016.

The best part? This brand new CCR is among the most affordable options out there – not only within the CCR series, but on the market in general.One of the most common ways to use this device would be: Gigabit Ethernet ports for the internal network; SFP+ ports for downlink and uplink. The perfect all-in-one solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Easy and efficient.

With the new CCR2004, you can take your office network to the next level. Without breaking the bank.
