HI All,
I just want to ask if my router support 10G, model: CCR1036-12G-4S
Regards,
Alex
Hi,
Have you checked specs here before asking the question? https://mikrotik.com/product/CCR1036-12G-4S-149
No 10Gb ports available.
BTW. Picture was unnecessary.
If you look at the Spec you will see that device has only 4 SFP(1G) ports, not SFP+.
Sadly top of this page: https://mikrotik.com/product/CCR1036-12G-4S-149#product_specification
Says : SFP/SFP+ that can be misleading
Check product pages.
12 Giga ethernet ports and 4 SFP ports (not SFP+).
So I would say: no.
It can ROUTE over 10G, yes. But it can not handle a single 10Gb interface.
Unless the routing part was your question ?
Thank you all. It’s look like i need to buy new router with SFP+.
happy new year to all of you.
Regards,
Alex
Just to satisfy my curiosity: have you checked the official specs of that device before asking?
See, this is the thing which makes using LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT) so attractive: it reads and interprets[*] the docs for you without so much nagging ![]()
[*] The interpretation might not be entirely accurate (if not plainly wrong), but we live in era where quality (of goods or information) is not important at all, all that matters is (low) price and ease of getting that something.
You are right @ 110%. Laziness rules however the fact is that "thinking does not hurt", especially in small doses ![]()
In this case it is complicated by the fact there also exists a CCR1036-8G-2S+ and as the name indicates it DOES have two 10G ports.
Those AI systems sometimes are looking too broadly and are applying things it finds for one CCR1036 onto another model, it seems.
But human easily spots the difference between
8G vs 12G - whatever it means
2S+ vs 4S - whatever it also means
however I agree that the length of both models' code is the same: 14 characters ![]()
we have so many attach dog in this forum and OPENAI. show respect.
if you have a problem about my thread ask miktrotik to remove mis-leading information about that router. end of the story and get some manner.
Well, it isn’t mis-information, it is just unclear.
Those icons at the top of the page are like a quick summary of all the nonstandard features that model has, and the SFP icon with SFP/SFP+ just means “this router has SFP or SFP+ ports or both”.
Further down it is detailed what it really has. This same icon and text is appearing for all (the few) devices that have SFP but not SFP+.
It would have been better when they separated that in two different icons for SFP and SFP+, but then there are not many current products anymore that only have SFP. So it probably isn’t a priority.
Thank you, it's always good to listen to the experienced man and be able to draw from his well of wisdom.
The good manner or habit could be to read specification of possesed device in advance before asking a question with obvious answer.
P.S.
Respect to the OpenAI ... good joke ... you did my New Year at it's first day.
But the question at hand is - I believe - to be split into two different ones:
![]()
Trust professionals, they say...
@jaclaz, your two points are kind of a "lawyer's perspective" - the answer from Getic may be formally correct if the 12G-4S device indeed accepts 10G modules, even though they cannot actually operate on 10G speed, but common sense says that's not what @Nanflexal was asking. So if someone purchased the 12G-4S based on this response, they'd definitely have grounds for a return.
Assume that Getic should be blamed?
CCR1036-12G-4S specs states:
Fiber
- SFP DDMI: Yes
- SFP ports: 4
No mention of SFP+ so it implies no way to work at 10Gb even if you can fit the SFP+ module in.
It is probably outside their return policy anyway. It seems this model was no longer distributed after March 2024 and all shops that still list it are either out of stock or have those shops not properly uptodate. Getic no longer lists it, only the later CCR1036-8G-2S+ model that was distributed up to about June 2025. And that DOES have SFP+.
It seems like the common case of aging of IT equipment. What you buy today will probably not be fully useful anymore in 2 years time.
Well, the official Mikrotik documentation does provide a list of 10 Gb modules "compatible" with this device ( in practice all BUT the S+RJ10)
which can be ambiguous, without a note like:
[*] this model has SFP ports, connection speed cannot exceed the SFP max rate of xxxx.
BUT the Getic reply is NOT correct when they say "These are SFP+ ports designed for 10 gb connectivity ...", those ports are SFP, NOT SFP+.
Blamed... for what? It was all hypothetical, "if someone purchased the device based on this response". Implicitly meaning "from them" of course. So in such hypothetical situation yes, I would definitely "blame" them in misleading me into purchase by providing an incorrect answer that made me make the purchase, hence I wrote it would be grounds for a return.
But leaving aside any hypothetical scenarios - it is normal that if in doubt, people ask other people, whom they have good reasons to assume to have better knowledge of the subject, for advice - be it a distributor or the forum.
And I sincerely don't know what's worse, whether a professional giving an incorrect information (no matter the reason) or some people on the forum responding just by poking fun on the OP. But personally I am more disappointed by the latter.
