The USW-Flex features five Gigabit RJ45 ports with auto-sensing IEEE 802.3af PoE support. Port 1 provides PoE input while ports 2–4 offer 802.3af PoE output, each delivering up to 15W of power to compatible devices such as UniFi G3 Flex cameras. This configuration makes it ideal for powering multiple network devices from a single connection.
Yes, the USW-Flex is designed for both indoor and outdoor use with a weather-resistant, lightweight housing that can withstand extreme temperature variations from -5 to 45°C. For installations at exposed outdoor locations, we recommend pairing it with the optional UniFi Switch Flex Utility weatherproof enclosure accessory for enhanced protection.
The USW-Flex offers versatile mounting flexibility with three installation options: desktop, wall-mounted, and pole-mounted configurations. It can be installed horizontally or vertically, and features built-in non-skid rubber feet to help secure the switch in place on flat surfaces.
The USW-Flex delivers 8 Gbps of total non-blocking throughput with a 16 Gbps switching capacity and 11.9 Mpps forwarding rate. This performance allows the switch to simultaneously process traffic on all ports at line rate without any packet loss, making it suitable for demanding network environments.
The USW-Flex accepts power through two methods: a DC 48V input (maximum 1.25A) via an external AC/DC adapter at 48V 0.5A, or through PoE input on Port 1 using 802.3af/at standards. The supported voltage range is 48V with an operating range of 56V to 40V, providing flexible deployment options.
Yes, the USW-Flex includes a security slot on its side that allows you to attach a lock to help deter theft. Combined with its compact dimensions of 148.0 x 99.5 x 30.7 mm and lightweight design, this makes it suitable for both secure and flexible network deployments.
