The USW-Flex-2.5G-5 is a compact, 5-port managed switch that brings multi-gigabit connectivity to small-scale deployments where space is at a premium. Perfect for tech-savvy homeowners upgrading their network infrastructure or IT professionals needing flexible switching options, this Flex Mini delivers 2.5 GbE speeds across all five ports—ideal for maximizing performance with WiFi 6 access points, NAS devices, or any equipment that demands bandwidth beyond standard gigabit. The switch integrates seamlessly into the UniFi ecosystem, providing centralized management through the UniFi Network Controller alongside your other UniFi devices.

• Four 2.5 GbE ports for high-speed device connectivity, eliminating gigabit bottlenecks
• PoE input port for clean, single-cable power delivery from an upstream PoE switch
• Flexible power options with included USB-C adapter when PoE isn’t available
• Compact form factor enables deployment in tight spaces, mounted behind displays, or tucked into small equipment closets
• UniFi Network integration for simplified configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting

This switch excels in scenarios requiring multi-gig connectivity without the footprint of a full rack-mount switch. Deploy it as a desktop expansion switch for workstations with 2.5G NICs, mount it behind a UniFi access point to provide wired connectivity to nearby devices, or use it to connect high-bandwidth equipment like 4K streaming devices and surveillance systems. The PoE input capability means you can power the switch from an upstream UniFi PoE switch, creating elegant daisy-chain deployments without additional power outlets—particularly valuable in renovations where running new electrical is impractical. At this price point, it represents exceptional value for users seeking reliable, professional-grade 2.5 GbE switching in an ultra-compact package.
