Hi mikrotik,
any hope on this as RB2011 have the SFP, i think this will be straight forward for the next version of RB800…

Will you make one? ![]()

Don’t worry about angboontiong, he always have strange demands. If someone really wants sfp, just buy an mediaconverter and put it in the box, like I did.
Anyway your post sugest that you can make one just he need to wait…check your english!

Hi Inox,
everybody have they own requirement and they need.
people not in my position they will never know why i asked for it.
we are the person manage close to 500 link now and for sure there is some reason we ask for it…
as some suggest, media converter put in the enclosure and place it outdoor not the good idea and there add another point of failure.
btw, i appreciate everyone talking here, but i also know when i should :X when i am not that person and i am not in the right position to say are they always have strange request or not.

I feel your pain angboontiong with the media converters . I hate the damn things : Stringy cables, lack of proper mounting in racks amd just have 4 or 5 of the things terminating media and your cabinet looks like garbage in no time.
I really hope we see mtk hardware facelifts/spinoffs of some of the current equipment .
Most of my copper runs are getting turned into fiber (with the old Cat 5/6 wireless runs being used for failover) and it sucks running those horrible two pin media converters bloody everywhere or installing expensive sfp capable switches adding more cost and points of failure.
I find it hilarious that the RB2011 has SFP but MTK’s previous flagship the 1100AHX2 has zero sfp capability.

Agreed Dobby , CCR will see lots of use in our environment if it proves to be stable . I’m sure many installers will have the same dilemma where they need more power than a 2011 , less than 4 sfp ports (ideally 2) (and price hah) than a ccr.
I think MTK has the low end (2011/750G/RB-951 etc) and high end (ccr) well covered now in terms of a plethora of connectivity options.I don’t mind an expansion card or daughterboard option if they decide to do it this way.
Their midend devices need a bit of love now .

I consider RB850, RB900, RB980 whatever, perhaps with the Tilera 9 core SoC!? ![]()
yeah, CCR with SFP cage. on Tilera Chip/IC would be cool replacement for both 1100 and 800, both on present Chip/IC and 8-core/64-core processors[and other versions.]
years after they also can move to soho/low-end RouterBoards too, with tremendous success, i suppose.
p.s.
original suggestion/request i suppose was made because:
would be cool replacement for both 1100 and 800
No, please. It should be not a replacement for anything, it is more to fill the free place between the RB2011 and CCR series
so there should be in my eyes something more, likes: only my 2 cents and in opinion.
As it is with PPC architecture in normal desktop cases:
RB800 with new daughterboards (SFP ports, GB LAN ports, RAM, VPN hardware acceleration, mini PCIe, SIM slots,…)
RB850 with 2 GB RAM, 2 GB LAN and 2 SFP ports, silent cooled, also for outdoor usage!
Tilera 9 core SoC in 19" rack mount cases:
RB900 only for WLAN & LAN management, the DUDE server,…
RB980 as a real WLAN controller with smart and clever QoS prioritizing for VOIP over WLAN fast roaming L2 + L3,…
And brand new RB420,RB421,RB422 (small, medium, big) WLAN AP´s with also fast layer 2 + 3 roaming support.
So you can easily see it is more I wish to have not less, so the free space between the RB2011 till the CCR can
be filled up by many models and I think the RB1100AH, RB1100AHx2 and RB1200 are in a good position for many
companies from small and medium size.
hardly both Tilera and PPC chips can be anyway “silently cooled”, sadly, due to amount of heat/energy disspation/consumtion.
[100-core Tilera spec’ed at 55W :[
maybe when 28nm chips or 14nm ?
basically thats why both Phillips and Freescale shifted from PPC in embedded.
don’t worry mild[not 16/32-64/96-core]Tilera chips could be NICE PPC chips replacement.
and/or Atheros Pro-Aptiv 1074k/74k replacement.
