MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ – 16-Core Cloud Core Router with 10G & Gigabit Ports – Next-Level Cloud Core Routing

The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ sets a new standard for performance in the Cloud Core Router lineup. With its 16-core ARMv8 2GHz CPU, it is built for environments where massive routing capacity, low latency, and high throughput are critical.

Equipped with 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 high-speed 10G SFP+ ports, this router provides the perfect balance of copper and fiber connectivity, making it ideal for ISPs, large enterprises, and data centers.

Extreme Multi-Core Power

At the heart of the CCR2116 is a powerful ARMv8 16-core 2GHz processor, capable of handling tens of gigabits of throughput across complex routing tasks. The multiple cores ensure smooth operation even when running BGP, OSPF, MPLS, and VPN services simultaneously.

This leap in processing power means the CCR2116 can handle carrier-grade traffic loads with ease.

MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ – 16-Core Cloud Core Router with 10G & Gigabit Ports 12 Gigabit Ethernet Ports for Versatility

With 12 dedicated Gigabit RJ45 ports, the CCR2116 ensures reliable connectivity for distribution switches, servers, and client devices. These ports provide the flexibility to manage multiple network segments efficiently, making it a powerful aggregation router.

4 High-Speed 10G SFP+ Ports

For high-bandwidth backbones and uplinks, the CCR2116 includes 4 SFP+ cages, supporting 10 Gigabit fiber or DAC connections. These ports are ideal for:

• Connecting to core network switches.

• Providing uplinks to data centers.

• Handling demanding applications like cloud services and virtualization.

The combination of Gigabit and 10G interfaces makes the CCR2116 a versatile solution for mixed networking environments.

MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ – 16-Core Cloud Core Router with 10G & Gigabit Ports Powered by RouterOS v7

The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ – 16-Core Cloud Core Router with 10G & Gigabit Ports runs MikroTik RouterOS v7, unlocking advanced networking features for complex infrastructures. With RouterOS v7, users gain:

• Enhanced BGP and OSPF routing for carrier-class deployments.

• MPLS, VPLS, and EVPN support for scalable backbone design.

• VXLAN tunneling for cloud-ready networking.

• WireGuard VPN for fast and secure remote connections.

• QoS and traffic shaping to optimize performance.

Why Choose MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ – 16-Core Cloud Core Router with 10G & Gigabit Ports?

The MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ is a flagship router that bridges the gap between affordability and carrier-grade performance. With 16 processing cores, 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4x 10G uplinks, and RouterOS v7, it empowers ISPs, enterprises, and data centers to scale their networks without compromise.

If you need a router that can keep pace with today’s demanding workloads and tomorrow’s growth, the MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ – 16-Core Cloud Core Router with 10G & Gigabit Ports is your perfect choice.

We wanted to see the full potential of the good, old, reliable 10G networking combined with a modern CPU. CCR2116-12G-4S+ allows you to forget about CPU limitations in your setup. Like its younger brother – the amazing CCR2004, this router features the mighty Amazon Annapurna Labs Alpine CPU.

But with 16 cores running at 2 GHz, this CCR eats the other one for breakfast. For example, we see at least a 15% increase in single-core performance. And that is the most important aspect when it comes to heavy operations based on per-connection processing. Like queues, for example. MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ – 16-Core Cloud Core Router with 10G & Gigabit Ports sets a new standard of single-core performance in the whole CCR product family! And it supports Layer 3 Hardware Offloading!

Obviously, you need the right connectivity to harness this power. There are four 10G SFP+ ports. They have a separate, full-duplex line connected to the Marvell Aldrin family switch chip. Then we have Gigabit Ethernet ports. 12 of them are running through the Marvel chip. And there is another Gigabit port connected directly to the CPU. For management purposes.

Each group of 4 ports has a separate full-duplex connection to the switch chip. No bottlenecks here. You can expect switch-like throughput in most setups. The new generation of processors offers mind-blowing performance. If we look at the CCR1036 – the powerhouse with a 36 core CPU, the new MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ – 16-Core Cloud Core Router with 10G & Gigabit Ports can easily double the performance. 16 cores vs 36 cores. Double the performance. Or even more.

If you are a rather large ISP, dealing with dynamic routing, massive BGPs, complex firewall rules, and intricate quality of service configurations..This is the right device for you. Combination of raw power and utility with the reliable 10G networking. And yes, like with any ISP-level device, we’ve included a dual-redundant power supply. So you have one less thing to worry about.

MikroTik CCR2116-12G-4S+ – 16-Core Cloud Core Router with 10G & Gigabit Ports : technology tested by time, built for the future.
