Overview
- The Ubiquiti UniFi USW Flex is a compact, managed Layer 2 switch purpose-built for distributed network deployments where power delivery and flexibility are essential. As a PoE-powered device, it eliminates the need for additional electrical infrastructure at remote locations, making it ideal for outdoor access points, surveillance systems, and IoT installations across multiple sites.
With 4 Gigabit PoE+ output ports and a PoE++ input port, the USW Flex provides up to 46W of available power when fed from a PoE++ source, or 20W when powered via standard PoE+. This makes it suitable for powering multiple access points or compatible endpoints simultaneously whilst maintaining network connectivity.
Full integration with the UniFi Controller platform enables centralised management of switching, VLAN configuration, port mirroring, and network monitoring across your entire infrastructure. The indoor/outdoor-rated enclosure ensures reliable operation in diverse environments without additional protection.

FAQs
Does the USW Flex include a PoE power adapter?
No. The switch can be powered via PoE++ from a compatible UniFi switch, or you can purchase a 60W PoE adapter separately.
How many watts of power can the USW Flex deliver to connected devices?
Up to 46W total when powered via PoE++ input, or 20W when powered via standard PoE+ input. Individual PoE+ ports deliver up to 20W each.
Can the USW Flex be installed outdoors?
Yes. The USW Flex is rated for both indoor and outdoor use, making it suitable for remote deployments and exposed environments.
Is the USW Flex compatible with non-Ubiquiti devices?
The switch operates as a standard Layer 2 Gigabit switch and will work with any compatible PoE endpoint. However, advanced management features require UniFi Controller integration.
What is the difference between the PoE input port and PoE+ output ports?
The single PoE++ input port powers the switch itself (46W maximum). The four PoE+ output ports deliver power to connected devices (up to 20W per port).
Do I need a UniFi controller to use the USW Flex?
No. The switch functions as a standard Layer 2 switch without a controller. However, controller integration enables advanced features such as VLAN management, port mirroring, and unified monitoring.
