5-Port managed PoE switch with (1) 802.3 at/bt (PoE+/PoE++) input port and (4) 802.3 af (PoE) Gigabit Ethernet portsBuild and expand your network with the UniFi Switch, part of the UniFi Enterprise System. The UniFi Switch, model USW-Flex, is a configurable Layer 2 Gigabit switch with auto-sensing 802.3 af PoE. It offers 5 RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing 1 PoE input and 4 PoE output links to your devices. The UniFi Switch Flex features a single PoE In port for power and four PoE ports that provide up to 15W PoE output to power a UniFi access point or other PoE devices.
With 802.3 bt rated PoE switches (USW-Pro-48-PoE, USW-Pro-24-PoE, US-XG-6POE, and USW-Industrial switches, sold separately) as power source, USW-Flex supports maximum 46W PoE output budget. It has weatherproof housing and offers versatile mounting options. Managed and configured by the UniFi Controller or UniFi Mobile app, the UniFi Switch Flex offers basic Layer 2 switching protocols and features. The UniFi Controller and mobile app allow admins to configure and monitor virtually all of the switch features using a graphical user interface from anywhere. Managed by UniFi
Network Controller version: 5.10. 3 or higher.

The Ubiquiti USW-Flex is a managed, Layer 2 five-port Gigabit PoE switch with four PoE+ ports and one PoE++ input, suited to extending wired and powered network connections indoors or outdoors. It provides up to 46W of PoE availability when powered by a PoE++ switch or a separately sold 60W adapter.
Recommended For
- Homeowners or small-office installers extending one Ethernet run to several nearby PoE cameras, when they can provide a suitable PoE++ source for the full 46W output budget.
- Installers placing a compact switch near an outdoor access point and cameras, to fan out connections locally instead of running a separate cable for each device back to the main switch.
- UniFi users adding a small managed switch at a remote room, garage, or mounting point where they want a few Gigabit wired connections and PoE for nearby devices.
- Installers who already have a PoE++ switch or are willing to add the specified 60W PoE adapter, and want the Flex’s higher PoE budget for multiple downstream devices.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- At a garage, backyard, or other edge location with only one Ethernet run available, use the USW-Flex to connect several PoE cameras from that run. The cameras can share the uplink without needing a separate power outlet at each camera, as long as the switch’s PoE input provides enough power for the connected devices.
- When one outdoor PoE cable needs to serve both a wireless access point and a camera, place the USW-Flex near the devices and connect them to separate PoE ports. The result is a compact edge setup with fewer cable runs; check the input power budget to ensure it can support both devices.
- For a small outdoor camera cluster, mount the switch on a wall or pole and distribute Ethernet and PoE locally to the cameras. Its outdoor-oriented installation options can simplify wiring, while the included port cover should be fitted for outdoor installations.
- In a small office or at a remote network edge, use it to connect nearby PoE devices such as IP cameras or sensors without routing each device’s cable back to the main switch. It provides a local connection point, with the available PoE output depending on how the USW-Flex itself is powered.
