Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key specifications of the Ubiquiti USW-Flex-2.5G-8-POE switch?
The USW-Flex-2.5G-8-POE features 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports with a total switching capacity of 16 Gbps and forwarding rate of 11.9 Mpps. It supports Layer 2 switching with a non-blocking throughput of 8 Gbps and includes PoE input on Port 1 with PoE output capability on Port 8, delivering up to 12W per port in PoE Mode 1 (802.3af/at). The unit has a maximum power consumption of 17W and operates across a temperature range of -5 to 45°C.
Can the Ubiquiti USW-Flex-2.5G-8-POE be used both indoors and outdoors?
Yes, the USW-Flex-2.5G-8-POE is designed for indoor/outdoor use with a weather-resistant housing that can withstand extreme temperature variations. For exposed outdoor locations, we offer the optional UniFi Switch Flex Utility enclosure as an accessory to provide additional weatherproof protection. The switch features versatile mounting options including desktop, wall, DIN rail, and magnetic mounts.
What PoE power options does this Ubiquiti switch support?
The USW-Flex-2.5G-8-POE supports multiple PoE input methods on Port 1: 802.3af/at (Pins +1, 2; -3, 6) and 48V passive PoE (2-Pair Pins +4, 5; -7, 8). Port 8 provides PoE output with support for 48V passive PoE and 802.3af/at modes, delivering up to 12W per port. The maximum combined PoE wattage across all data ports is 50W, making it suitable for powering multiple PoE devices like UniFi cameras and access points.
What mounting options are available for the USW-Flex-2.5G-8-POE?
The switch offers multiple mounting configurations to suit various deployment scenarios: desktop, wall mount, DIN rail mount, and magnetic mount. It includes built-in non-skid rubber feet to hold the switch firmly in place on flat surfaces, and features a security slot on the side to help deter theft with an optional lock attachment.
Is the Ubiquiti USW-Flex-2.5G-8-POE manageable and what management features does it offer?
Yes, the switch is fully manageable via Ethernet in-band management with a web UI interface. It supports Layer 2 switching capabilities including 802.1q VLAN, bridging, and bonding (802.3ad), along with comprehensive QoS options such as Stochastic Fairness Queueing, Random Early Detection, and Hierarchical Token Bucket for traffic management.
What environmental protections and certifications does the USW-Flex-2.5G-8-POE have?
The switch includes robust environmental protection with ±24 kV ESD/EMP protection for both air and contact scenarios, and meets ETSI300-019-1.4 Standard for shock and vibration resistance. It holds CE, FCC, and IC certifications and operates reliably in humidity levels from 5 to 95% noncondensing, making it suitable for diverse deployment environments.
