Mikrotik CCR2004-16G-2S+ firewall appliance 16x 10G SFP+

16-Port Gigabit Firewall with Dual 10G Uplinks

The Mikrotik CCR2004-16G-2S+ is a new rack-mounted firewall appliance built around a 64-bit ARM processor with four cores running at 1700 MHz. It provides sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G SFP+ cages for high-speed uplinks or interconnects. The system includes 4 GB of RAM and 128 MB of storage running RouterOS license level 6.

Suited for small ISP aggregation

Network operators who need dense 1G connectivity with dual 10G uplinks in a single unit will find the port layout efficient. Buyers who require more than two 10G interfaces should look at higher-density platforms. Teams without RouterOS experience should plan for a learning curve or evaluate alternative operating environments.

Four-core ARM CPU at 1700 MHz determines throughput

The 64-bit ARM architecture with four cores at 1700 MHz sets the ceiling for packet processing, encryption and queue management. With 4 GB of RAM the device holds large routing tables and connection tracking entries. The 128 MB storage holds the OS and logs but is not sized for extensive local data retention.
