What's the power consumption on that stuff? Last time I checked 10GBit switches were drawing high 100's of watts.


The specs of the two switches could be the Mikrotik CRS305 and the CSS610.

Probably less than 20W under load (assuming DAC or SFP+ SR Multimode). My setup has a CRS309 (8 SFP+) and CSS610, and it's 12W with almost all ports active (though not much load).
