MikroTik CCR2004-16G-2S+PC 16-Port Gigabit 2x10G SFP+ Router

The MikroTik CCR2004-16G-2S+PC is a fanless Cloud Core Router designed for demanding enterprise, ISP, studio, and homelab environments where sustained high throughput and acoustic silence must coexist. At its core is the Amazon Annapurna Labs Alpine v2 AL32400 processor — a quad-core, 64-bit ARMv8-A Cortex-A57 platform running at 1.2 GHz — paired with 4 GB of DDR4 RAM and 128 MB of NAND storage to handle complex routing tables, firewall rule sets, and traffic shaping workloads without thermal or noise compromise. The 18-port wired configuration spans 16 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and two 10G SFP+ cages. Critically, each group of eight Gigabit Ethernet ports connects to a dedicated Marvell Amethyst-family switch chip (88E6191X), each with its own 10 Gbps full-duplex uplink to the CPU, and each SFP+ cage carries its own independent 10 Gbps full-duplex link — eliminating internal bottlenecks so every port can operate at wire speed simultaneously. Dual DC power inputs with a 36–57 V operating range support redundant power architectures. The unit ships with RouterOS v7 at License Level 6 and carries CE, FCC, and IC certifications.

Key features & benefits

• Fanless, Silent Operation — A completely passive thermal design eliminates fan noise entirely, making this router equally at home in open-plan offices, recording studios, server rooms, and homelabs where acoustic environment matters as much as network performance.
• Quad-Core Alpine v2 CPU at 1.2 GHz — The Amazon Annapurna Labs AL32400 with four 64-bit ARMv8-A Cortex-A57 cores delivers routing performance cited as up to three times faster than the previous CCR1009 generation, enabling high-throughput firewall, NAT, and routing workloads.
• 16 Gigabit Ethernet Ports with No Internal Bottlenecks — Two independent Marvell 88E6191X Amethyst-family switch chips each serve eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, and each switch chip has its own dedicated 10 Gbps full-duplex link to the CPU, so aggregate traffic is never funneled through a shared uplink.
• Dual 10G SFP+ Uplink Cages — Two SFP+ cages each carry a separate 10 Gbps full-duplex connection to the CPU, providing high-capacity uplink or inter-device connectivity without competing for bandwidth with the Gigabit Ethernet segments.
• 4 GB DDR4 RAM and 128 MB NAND Storage — Generous memory headroom supports large routing tables, connection tracking tables, and complex queue trees, while onboard NAND provides reliable non-volatile storage for the operating system and configuration.
• Dual Redundant DC Power Inputs — Two independent DC inputs — a DC jack and a 2-pin terminal block — both accepting 36–57 V, allow connection to redundant power sources for improved uptime in production deployments.
• RouterOS v7 License Level 6 — Ships with MikroTik's full-featured RouterOS v7 at the highest license tier, unlocking the complete suite of routing protocols, tunneling, firewall, and traffic management capabilities without additional licensing cost.
• RJ-45 Console Port — A dedicated RJ-45 console port on the front panel provides out-of-band management access for initial configuration, troubleshooting, and recovery scenarios independent of the data-plane interfaces.
• CE, FCC, and IC Certified — Regulatory certifications for the European Union, United States, and Canada confirm the unit meets applicable electromagnetic compatibility and safety standards for professional deployment across North American and European markets.
