Will there be a +WiFi Version of this?
This one is a prime candidate for 4+ anennae WiFi version. Ugly as a sin, but it seems that’s the way gameboys like it.
On the serious note: if it had wireless, then the argumentation about particular form factor is not valid anymore. So if it came as wireless version, it would likely come in larger enclosure.
Shut up and take my money!
It looks like the switch chip supports L3 switching/routing:)
They are moving in the right direction.
Although I would prefer ethernet ports in 2x4 block and an enclosure similar to CRS112/CSS610.
I guess that enclosure as it is is to offer enough cooling surface … for device being passively cooled and intended to be mounted in a dense pack (two one above another, two side-by-side) it needs some smartly designed enclosure.
But if there was a RB5018UG+S+RM … I’d be in the line for one already 
Sure, but there can be other cooling solutions - for example like on CCR1009 PC version.
Yes, please! 
Actually, google for CCR2004-16G-2S+
A passively cooled CCR2004 with 16x 1Gbit and 2x SFP+ is coming.
Not really the same. Specifications of RB5009 include a very fine switch chip (Marvell 88E6393), while CCR doesn’t have one (PIPE is not switch chip, it’s a dumb port extender, CPU does all the data shoveling). So it’s rather RB4011 on steroids.
The new CCR2004 with 1G ports has two of the same series switch chip that is in the RB5009
Yes, I was surprised that the following video from the Mikrotik channel popped up on my feed, without me having heard about it here first!

I’m super excited to see more of the Marvell family of chips.
This could be a great tower or last mile router for a compact enclosure or to build HA in a small footprint. I’m very excited about this one.
And a DC terminal block! Wow! Very wise to go ahead with Marvell swtich-chips instead.
No.. no wireless in the same box please. Use suitable access-points instead if wireless is needed.
I just hope that there is a version with 2 * SFP+ ports in the “series” (three would be even better)… the underlying chipset supports it…
It would seem to be a waste of all that routing power if it were just on a stick…

Looks like the Marvell CPU used in the RB5009 is a Cortex A72, but now I need to compare this to the one in the CCR2004. Does anyone know what processor the 2004 uses?

CCR2004-16GB-2S+ https://mt.lv/CCR2004_16GB_2S
The video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmt33XMLTqI) says that it’ll be the cheapest CCR, and that the passive cooling version is coming soon and it’ll be 15% slower and have external power supplies.
I hope the wireless version will be compatible with wifiwave2 as this is a perfect candidate for home deployments.
Well, till then…
