When powered by a PoE++ (802.3bt) source, it delivers up to 46W of PoE budget across its four output ports, powering access points, cameras, and intercoms at remote locations where no AC outlet exists. Mount it on a pole, wall, ceiling, or desk and feed it a single Ethernet cable from the upstream switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flex solves the common problem of getting network and power to locations far from the closet. Instead of running four cables to a camera cluster on a pole, run one PoE++ cable to a Flex mounted at the pole and branch out to four devices from there. The IP55 housing means it handles rain, dust, and temperature swings without a separate enclosure (or pair it with the Flex Utility mount for fully sealed outdoor installs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the USW-Flex Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor camera and AP clusters\u003c\/strong\u003e where 2-4 PoE devices need connectivity at a pole, building corner, or parking lot light fixture and running separate cables for each device back to the closet is impractical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarehouses, garages, and workshops\u003c\/strong\u003e where a wall-mounted Flex adds network ports and PoE power to an area with no AC outlet, feeding off a single Ethernet run from the main \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/unifi-switches\"\u003eUniFi switch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeiling and under-desk installs\u003c\/strong\u003e in offices, classrooms, and retail spaces where a small local switch adds ports for a desk phone, printer, and AP without visible cable clutter or a power brick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the USW-Flex Delivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5x Gigabit ports (1 in, 4 out PoE):\u003c\/strong\u003e Port 1 accepts PoE++ input from the upstream switch or injector.

The USW-Flex is the right choice when you need to power downstream PoE devices, mount outdoors, or install at a location without an AC outlet. The Flex Mini is for indoor desk-side use where all connected devices have their own power source.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ubiquiti Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50706795790520,"sku":"USW-FLEX","price":115.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9110\/4952\/files\/unnamed_49166bf7-7aec-4174-b72d-c85d60bf738c.png?v=1741344326","url":"https:\/\/islandelectricalsupply.com\/products\/ubiquiti-unifi-switch-flex-usw-flex","provider":"Island Electrical Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
