Remove the bottleneck from your network setup – it is time to upgrade that 1 Gigabit switch to something truly powerful and enjoy real speed. IntroducingCRS312-4C+8XG-RM– our first product with 10G RJ45 Ethernet ports. Moreover, it also has 4 x 10G combo ports: use them for 10G RJ45 Ethernet or 10G SFP+, when you need an additional fiber connection. Combo ports can be used alongside the 8 regular 10G RJ45 Ethernet ports at all times. These ports can also be software selected, so you can use RouterOS scripting, to decide which combo ports will be active.

Overall it has two 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports and twenty four 10 Gbps SFP+ ports, which provides total nonblocking throughput of 320 Gbps and switching capacity of 640 Gbps with forwarding rate of 252 Mpps with most common packets.
