Featuring 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual 10G SFP+ interfaces, a quad-core ARM 64-bit processor, and RouterOS v7, this rackmount router offers a comprehensive networking solution.

Available from Universal Fiber Solutions, the CCR2004-16G-2S+ is ideal for network administrators who need multiple Ethernet connections, high-speed fiber uplinks, and advanced traffic management capabilities.

Powerful Quad-Core ARM Processor

The MikroTik CCR2004-16G-2S+ features an Annapurna Labs Alpine v2 AL32400 processor with four 64-bit ARM Cortex-A57 cores running at 1.7 GHz. Its processor architecture is designed to deliver strong single-core performance, particularly for workloads involving per-connection processing and complex routing operations.

With 4GB DDR4 RAM and 128MB NAND storage, the router supports a wide range of RouterOS networking configurations, including firewall processing, bandwidth management, routing policies, and network administration.

Its performance-focused architecture makes it a suitable choice for professional networking environments with demanding traffic requirements.

16 Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The CCR2004-16G-2S+ includes 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing extensive wired connectivity for business networks, servers, switches, access points, and other network devices.

The Ethernet interfaces are organized into two groups, each connected through a dedicated Marvell Amethyst switch chip. This architecture supports flexible network configurations and efficient connectivity between network segments.

These 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports make the router particularly useful for offices, enterprise LANs, network distribution, and ISP installations where multiple wired connections are required.

Dual 10G SFP+ Fiber Connectivity

The MikroTik CCR2004-16G-2S+ features two 10 Gigabit SFP+ cages for high-speed uplinks and fiber network connectivity.

These interfaces can be used with compatible SFP+ optical modules or direct-attach cables to connect supported switches, routers, and fiber infrastructure.

Key advantages include:

• High-speed 10G uplink connectivity
• Flexible fiber and compatible direct-attach connections
• Suitable interfaces for upstream and downstream network links
• Support for modern business and ISP network architectures

The combination of 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and dual 10G SFP+ interfaces makes this router a versatile solution for network aggregation and distribution.

RouterOS v7 and Advanced Network Management

The CCR2004-16G-2S+ comes with RouterOS v7 preinstalled and a Level 6 license. MikroTik RouterOS provides a broad range of networking and administration features, including:

• Advanced IP routing and routing policies
• Firewall rules and packet filtering
• VPN and IPsec configuration
• Bandwidth management and traffic queues
• VLAN and bridge configuration
• Network segmentation and access management
• Network monitoring and troubleshooting

The available functionality and achievable throughput depend on the selected configuration, enabled services, packet sizes, and traffic conditions.

Dual Redundant Power Supplies

The MikroTik CCR2004-16G-2S+ includes two AC power inputs and dual power supply units. Its redundant power design helps improve power resilience by providing a second power source.

The router supports an AC input range of 100–240V and is suitable for compatible business network installations and server rooms.

Its maximum power consumption is 48W, while typical consumption without additional attachments is specified at 35W. Actual power usage depends on operating conditions and connected equipment.

Active Cooling and 1U Rackmount Design

Designed for professional networking environments, the CCR2004-16G-2S+ features a classic white 1U rackmount enclosure and active cooling with two fans.

Its compact rackmount form factor allows convenient installation in server racks, network cabinets, and ISP infrastructure. Temperature and voltage monitoring features also help administrators monitor important hardware operating conditions.
