UniFi Switch Flex (USW-Flex): Managed Layer 2 5-Port Gigabit PoE Switch for Indoor and Outdoor Environments

The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Flex (USW-Flex) is a fully managed, weather-resistant (IP55) Layer 2 Gigabit switch designed for flexible indoor and outdoor installations. Featuring five Gigabit Ethernet ports — including four PoE output ports (802.3af) — it can deliver up to 46W of total PoE power, depending on the input source. Compact, silent, and fully integrated with the UniFi Network platform, the USW-Flex provides a robust, plug-and-play solution for powering and connecting UniFi Access Points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other PoE devices.

Versatile PoE Connectivity — Indoors or Outdoors

The USW-Flex combines flexibility, reliability, and intelligent power delivery in one compact switch.
Powered via PoE In (802.3af/at/bt) or an optional 60W PoE adapter, it can output PoE (802.3af) on up to four ports, eliminating the need for local power outlets.

Its IP55-rated enclosure allows safe installation in semi-outdoor or outdoor environments such as building facades, rooftops, garages, warehouses, or garden areas — providing reliable operation even under challenging conditions.

Managed through UniFi Network, it offers full Layer 2 functionality including VLANs, Port Profiles, STP/RSTP, and port mirroring, ensuring secure and efficient traffic control across all connected devices.
