Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Flex (USW-FLEX) 5-Port Gigabit Layer 2 Outdoor Managed PoE Switch

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Flex (USW‑FLEX) is a highly versatile, managed Layer 2 Gigabit switch. It is designed for deployments needing high‑power PoE distribution. It works in challenging indoor or outdoor environments.It operates as a 5‑port auto‑sensing Gigabit Ethernet switch. It delivers robust throughput, remote management, and weather‑resistant durability. All in a compact, low‑profile footprint.

Versatile Power over Ethernet (PoE) Architecture

At its core is flexible PoE passthrough. Port 1 accepts 802.3bt PoE++ input. The unit receives both data and power over a single Ethernet line. This eliminates the need for local AC power outlets at remote sites.

When powered by a 60W 802.3bt PoE++ source—like a UniFi PoE++ injector or compatible high‑power switch—the USW‑FLEX delivers a total PoE output budget of up to 46W. This power is intelligently distributed across Ports 2 through 5. These ports support auto‑sensing 802.3af PoE output. This makes it ideal for powering multiple IP cameras, wireless APs, or VoIP hardware. No extra electrical infrastructure is needed.

Built for Indoor and Outdoor Durability

The USW‑FLEX has a weatherproof chassis. It withstands extreme conditions and wide temperature fluctuations. Whether mounted on a pole outdoors, attached to a wall, or placed on a desktop inside an enclosure, it maintains reliable connectivity in tough environments. Flexible mounting accessories enable effortless installation in diverse settings.

Pole Mounting – Easily attach to exterior poles or conduits for security camera setups.

Wall Mounting – Securely attach to indoor walls, exterior facades, or junction boxes.

Magnetic Mounting – Mount seamlessly to metal surfaces or utility racks for quick deployment.

Seamless UniFi Network Controller Integration

Like all UniFi hardware, the USW‑FLEX integrates natively with the centralised UniFi Network Application. Managed via a unified cloud or local interface, administrators can remotely monitor, configure, and troubleshoot across multiple locations from one dashboard.

• The software enables advanced Layer 2 networking controls.
• Port status monitoring and real‑time traffic statistics.
• Individual port VLAN tagging and port isolation.
• Egress rate limiting and storm control.
• Centralised firmware update management.
