The USW-Flex-2.5G-5 is a compact 5-port managed switch that brings multi-gigabit connectivity to spaces where a full-sized switch isn’t practical. This versatile device delivers 2.5 Gbps throughput across all five ports, making it ideal for extending high-speed network access to devices that need more than standard gigabit speeds—perfect for WiFi 6/6E access points, NAS devices, workstations with 2.5G NICs, or gaming PCs. The flexible powering options set this switch apart: it accepts PoE input on one port for powered installation, or can run on the included USB-C adapter, giving you deployment flexibility in locations without nearby power outlets.

• Four 2.5 GbE output ports provide high-speed connectivity for bandwidth-intensive devices
• PoE-powered operation allows installation anywhere you have existing PoE infrastructure
• USB-C power option enables flexible deployment with the included adapter
• Compact form factor fits easily on desks, behind displays, or in tight spaces
• Full UniFi integration with centralized management through the UniFi Network Controller

This switch excels in scenarios where you need to add multi-gigabit capacity without running new power drops—think retail kiosks, remote office nooks, digital signage installations, or extending your network into areas where space and power are limited. The 2.5G speeds ensure your modern devices won’t be bottlenecked by traditional gigabit limitations, while the UniFi ecosystem integration means simplified management alongside your other UniFi equipment. At this price point, it’s an excellent value for upgrading specific network segments to multi-gigabit speeds without overhauling your entire infrastructure.
