MikroTik CCR2004-16G-2S+ Router – High-Performance Router for SMB & Enterprise

MikroTik CCR2004-16G-2S+ is an enterprise router for small and medium-sized businesses, delivering the best single-core performance in the entire CCR lineup — the metric that matters most for CPU-intensive per-connection operations such as complex queues, deep packet inspection, and advanced QoS policies. With 16 Gigabit ports, two 10G SFP+ uplinks, and dual redundant power supplies included, it provides a complete business routing solution without datacenter-level investment.

The Annapurna Labs Alpine v2 quad-core ARMv8-A CPU at 1.7 GHz, paired with 4 GB DDR4 RAM, places the CCR2004 ahead of previous CCR generations under heavy load — matching and in some configurations surpassing the CCR1016. The 16 Gigabit ports are split across two dedicated Marvell Amethyst switch chips, each with a separate 10 Gbps full-duplex line to the CPU, while each SFP+ cage also has its own dedicated 10 Gbps connection — no internal bottlenecks regardless of traffic distribution. Active cooling via dual fans and a standard white 1U rackmount enclosure complete a router that arrives ready for immediate rack deployment.

CCR2004-16G-2S+ integrates into business infrastructure as the primary router: Gigabit ports for the internal network, SFP+ 10G slots for ISP uplinks or core network connectivity. Dual redundant power supplies are included out of the box, eliminating a critical single point of failure at no additional cost. The front-panel RJ45 serial console port supports direct out-of-band management, and the RouterOS v7 level 6 license provides full access to advanced routing, VPN, traffic shaping, and security features.

Recommended for small and medium businesses with demanding routing requirements, ISPs handling high per-connection traffic loads, infrastructures requiring 10G fiber uplinks alongside multi-port Gigabit connectivity, and organizations seeking CCR-class performance at a price point that stands out within the CCR series and the broader market. RouterOS v7 level 6 license and free lifetime software updates are included.
