MikroTik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe 25G RouterOS NIC Card

The MikroTik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe is the only device in this session that installs inside a server — a PCIe card at USD 199.00 that adds two 25G SFP28 ports and a full RouterOS v7 router to any server with a PCIe slot, without occupying rack space or requiring a standalone router.

**Full RouterOS v7 on a PCIe card — License 6**

The AL52400 quad-core ARM64 runs at 1,500 MHz — 25% faster than the CCR2004-16G-2S+PC's AL32400 at 1,200 MHz — with 4 GB DDR4 RAM and RouterOS v7 License 6. Firewall, NAT, BGP, OSPF, WireGuard, IPsec, VLAN, scripting, and container support run directly on the card. The host server sees four virtual PCIe Ethernet interfaces: two in passthrough mode to the 25G SFP28 cages, two bridged to the GbE management port.

**Wire-speed 100 Gbps with jumbo frames**

MikroTik's own benchmark: wire-speed 100 Gbps with jumbo frames — the CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe will not be the bottleneck in server deployments. FastForward FastPath passthrough mode passes hardware link statuses to the host.

**Host compatibility — Linux kernel 5.15.25 minimum**

Supported on Linux (kernel 5.15.25+) and RouterOS hosts. **Critical deployment note:** Configure PCIe initialization delay in BIOS — if the host boots before the CCR card initialises, the NIC will not appear. Re-initialize PCIe devices from the host if this occurs.

**Canadian market note:** CE, EAC, RoHS only — no FCC, no IC (ISED). PCIe card, no wireless transmitter. Confirm CSA/cUL electrical safety with distributor before listing.

**5-year software support guarantee:** RouterOS v7 updates free for minimum 5 years from purchase.
