Thanks both.
Yes I need 12 ports at least, and yes it has to be RJ45 ethernet 10Gb.
My dream specs would be:
- 1U rack
- Redundant DC power input
- All Ethernet RJ45
- 12x 10Gb
- 12x 1Gb
I found some photos of the CRS312-4C+8XG-RM here:

And this photo shows the rack open:

We can see yellow and black cables. Does it mean it takes a dual 12v? Are both yellow and both black cables the same thing in a connector for the redundancy of the connector itself?
If so I could simply get one of these and get rid of the 2 power supplies, connect the 2 yellow and 2 black wires together and I get 2 DC inputs. Would that work?
Bonus question now that I think about it:
Can I connect a 1Gb switch that has one 10Gb port directly to this switch and expect everything to work at full speed just like that? (provided that the 1Gb ports sum up to less than 10Gb)
