Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Flex Mini (USW-Flex-Mini) 5-Port Gigabit Managed Smart Switch

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Flex Mini (USW‑Flex‑Mini) is a compact, smart‑managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch. It delivers cost‑effective and flexible network expansion. It suits home offices, enterprise environments, and desktop deployments. It offers five 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports. It provides reliable, high‑speed wired connectivity for workstations, IP phones, smart TVs, and access points. All without sacrificing desk space.

Compact Design with Versatile Power Options

It is engineered for ultra‑low power consumption—just 2.5W maximum. It features flexible dual‑power architecture. Port 1 supports 802.3af/at PoE input.
The switch can be powered directly over a single Ethernet cable from an upstream PoE switch or injector. Where PoE is unavailable, it can be powered using the included 5V, 1A USB Type‑C adapter. This versatility makes it ideal for retrofitting tight spaces, media cabinets, or temporary deployment sites with limited power outlets.

Enterprise‑Grade Performance & Layer 2 Features

Despite its pocket‑sized form factor, it delivers impressive capability. It has a 10 Gbps switching capacity and 5 Gbps non‑blocking throughput. It handles high‑bandwidth local traffic with a forwarding rate of 7.44 Mpps. This ensures smooth, low‑latency data flow across all five ports.

Key networking capabilities include:

Port Isolation & VLAN Tagging – Segment guest traffic or secure corporate endpoints at the port level.

Quality of Service (QoS) – Prioritise critical voice, video, or data streams.

Link Aggregation & Rate Limiting – Prevent broadcast storms and manage port bandwidth effectively.

Centralized Management via UniFi Controller

Like all UniFi enterprise hardware, it integrates natively into the UniFi Network Controller.
From a single centralised dashboard—via web browser or mobile app—administrators can adopt the switch, push batch firmware updates, monitor real‑time traffic statistics, and analyse port link states across multiple physical locations.
