Well, the smallest switch I have found that can handle all this (and more) and is a 12 port to boot is the Cisco 2955.. but not cheap. Love it though. Definitely handles those out door environments, built in dual 24V DC power supplies so you can hook-up solar power systems with a twist of a screw (no converters, or losses due to them). But again.. not cheap.
