It suits a home office, small business or nearby group of computers and storage devices that can benefit from faster local connections. Power the switch from a suitable PoE source or its included USB-C adapter, then manage it through UniFi Network.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFive faster wired ports\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive RJ45 ports support 2.5GbE with backwards-compatible link speeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25Gbps switching capacity and 12.5Gbps non-blocking throughput.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFlexible power input\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Ethernet port accepts PoE to power the switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded 5V \/ 1A USB-C adapter provides an alternative power source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eManaged network control\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVLAN support, port isolation and traffic limits for a more organised network.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 117.1 × 90 × 21.2 mm desktop enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eConnect computers and storage at 2.5GbE\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAll five ports negotiate up to 2.5Gbps, allowing compatible workstations, NAS devices and the upstream network to communicate beyond Gigabit speeds. One port will normally be used for the uplink, leaving four local connections. The speed of each transfer still depends on the connected equipment, cabling and the slowest link in its path.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eChoose PoE input or USB-C power\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eUse the PoE input when a suitable powered network connection is already available, or use the included USB-C power adapter at a desk. The PoE port receives power for this switch; the switch does not provide PoE output to cameras or access points. A device requiring PoE must have its own injector or a suitable PoE switch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSeparate and monitor wired connections\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eUniFi Network provides central configuration and visibility alongside other adopted UniFi equipment. VLAN support and port isolation help separate devices where required, while port mirroring assists network troubleshooting. The switch is managed equipment rather than an internet router, firewall or WiFi access point.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eControl loops and excessive traffic\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSTP\/RSTP, loop protection and storm control help manage common wired-network problems. Egress limits, multicast and broadcast rate limits, flow control and jumbo frames provide useful tuning options. Configure these to match the rest of the network instead of assuming that enabling every feature will improve every application.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFit a small indoor installation\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 206g polycarbonate unit occupies little desk space. Plan a suitable upstream connection and leave its ports accessible for changes. Adoption requires UniFi Network 8.6.9 or later; keeping the application and switch firmware current provides the supported management features.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eUSW-Flex-2.5G-5 is a practical way to add a small group of 2.5GbE wired connections with UniFi management. Choose it when compact size and flexible power input matter, and provide separate PoE power for any devices that need it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ubiquiti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41845736636475,"sku":"USW-Flex-2.5G-5","price":81.75,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/4541\/3179\/files\/ubiquiti-usw-flex-25g-5-flex-mini-25g-5-port-switch-567760.png?v=1727216724","url":"https:\/\/aceperipherals.com\/products\/ubiquiti-usw-flex-2-5g-5","provider":"ACE Peripherals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
