Ubiquiti usw-flex-2.5g-8 8-port 2.5 Gbe Switch

Product Description

The UBIQUITI usw-flex-2.5g-8 is a flexible 8-port 2.5 GbE managed switch designed for network infrastructure deployments where higher throughput at the edge is required. It includes one combination 10 GbE RJ45 and SFP+ uplink port that also serves as a PoE+ power input, giving installers flexible placement options without requiring a nearby AC outlet. The switch can also be powered via an included 5V, 3A USB-C adapter. Network technicians and IT infrastructure pros will find this unit suited for dense, bandwidth-demanding environments where standard gigabit ports are a bottleneck.

The usw-flex-2.5g-8 is intended for use in commercial and residential network installations that require multi-gigabit edge switching. The dual power input options — PoE+ from an upstream switch or the included USB-C adapter — make it well suited for flexible, space-constrained deployments such as wall closets, under-desk installs, or remote network nodes. It is part of the Ubiquiti UniFi ecosystem and is managed through UniFi Network software. Note that the EU version ships with an EU power plug only.

Key Features

• 8 x 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports for multi-gigabit edge connectivity
• 1 x 10 GbE combination RJ45 and SFP+ uplink port for high-speed backbone connection
• PoE+ input on the uplink port allows the unit to be powered by an upstream PoE+ switch
• Included 5V, 3A USB-C adapter provides an alternative AC-powered option
• Compact form factor supports flexible mounting and placement
• Managed via UniFi Network software for centralized network administration

Compatibility

Designed for use within the Ubiquiti UniFi network ecosystem. The PoE+ power input is compatible with upstream PoE+ capable switches. The SFP+ uplink port accepts standard SFP+ transceivers for fiber or direct-attach copper connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician familiar with structured cabling and switching infrastructure. Power down or disconnect any upstream PoE+ source before connecting or disconnecting the uplink port. When using the USB-C adapter, ensure the adapter is connected to a properly grounded outlet. Verify UniFi Controller or UniFi Network application is available on the network prior to adoption and configuration.
