The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ is a flagship 1U rackmount core router engineered to eliminate performance bottlenecks in modern high-speed enterprise networks, telecommunication providers, and heavy-traffic server environments. Powered by an enterprise 16-core Amazon Annapurna Labs Alpine AL73400 ARM Cortex-A72 processor operating at 2.0 GHz and paired with 16 GB DDR4 RAM, this router sets a new benchmark for single-core execution speed and multi-core parallel routing capacity.
Designed with advanced hardware offloading capabilities, the CCR2116-12G-4S+ features 12x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports divided into state-of-the-art Marvell Aldrin switch chips, along with 4x 10G SFP+ cages for high-bandwidth optical uplinks. To ensure uninterrupted network stability in mission-critical environments, the router integrates dual hot-swappable AC power supplies and dynamic active cooling inside a heavy-duty 1U steel chassis.
