The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ delivers high-performance 10G networking powered by a 16-core 2 GHz Amazon Annapurna Labs Alpine CPU, offering at least 15% stronger single-core performance than the MikroTik CCR2004—ideal for heavy per-connection processing, large BGP tables, advanced QoS, and firewall rules. Featuring four 10G SFP+ ports with dedicated full-duplex links, 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports via a Marvell Aldrin switch chip with Layer 3 Hardware Offloading, a dedicated Gigabit management port, and dual-redundant power supplies, it delivers near switch-like throughput and up to double the performance of the 36-core MikroTik CCR1036, making it a powerful, carrier-grade solution for ISPs and enterprise networks.
