Mikrotik CCR2004-16G-2S+ Router 5Ghz 1000Mbps White

Just like other models in the CCR2004 series, this CCR also features the Annapurna Labs Alpine v2 central processor with 4x 64-bit ARMv8-A Cortex-A57 cores running at 1.7 GHz. But there's a difference here. This powerful router outperforms all previous CCR models in single-core performance, and that's the most important aspect when it comes to heavy operations that involve processing each connection. For example, queues. But that's not all! It also has the best single-core performance per watt and the best overall performance per watt among all CCR devices. Better for the planet, better for your bills, it's a win-win!
The new router has 18 Ethernet ports, including 16x Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G SFP+ cages. It also has a full-size USB and RJ-45 console port on the front panel. Like all CCR devices, it is available in a classic white 1U rack-mountable enclosure. It includes built-in dual power supplies, so you have one less thing to worry about. And of course, there is active cooling to keep things nice and cool. Each group of 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports is connected to a separate Marvell Amethyst family switch chip. Each switch chip has a 10 Gbps full-duplex line connected to the central processor. The same applies to each SFP+ cage - a separate 10 Gb/s full-duplex line. The boards have 4 GB DDR4 RAM and 128 MB NAND memory.
So, as you can see - no bottlenecks. While the CPU can handle the processing, all ports can achieve wire speed. And this CPU is a beast that can handle a lot. Looking at performance, you can see that it's a knockout compared to our CCR1009. Even surpassing it in configurations with multiple CPUs! And if that's not enough, it can even achieve the performance of the CCR1016.
The best part? This brand new CCR is one of the most affordable options - not only in the CCR series, but also in the market as a whole. One of the most common use cases for this device would be: Gigabit Ethernet ports for internal network; SFP+ ports for uplink and downlink. An ideal all-in-one solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Easy and efficient.
With the new CCR2004, you can take your office network to the next level. Without breaking the bank.
