Switch with 8× 2.5G Ethernet Ports and 1× 10G Combo Port

The offered product is a switch equipped with 8× 2.5G Ethernet ports and 1× Combo port, allowing either 10G Ethernet or SFP+ connectivity. The optical interface enables long-distance connections, depending on the installed modules. This device is an excellent choice for networks built on a 2.5 Gb/s infrastructure.

8× PoE++ Outputs, 1× PoE+++ Input

All 2.5G Ethernet ports feature PoE++ output, supporting 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt (Type 3) standards. The maximum output power per port depends on the standard: 15.4W (802.3af), 32W (802.3at), or 64W (802.3bt Type 3).

The total PoE output budget depends on the power source. The switch can be powered via the PoE input on the 10G Ethernet port or a DC power connector. Using PoE input, the available power budget is: 16W with PoE+ (802.3at), 46W with PoE++ (802.3bt Type 3) and 76W with PoE+++ (802.3bt Type 4). When using an external 210W AC power adapter, the total PoE budget increases to 196W. The power adapter is not included in the package.

Desktop Enclosure with Wall-Mount Option, Layer 2 Management

The device features a compact desktop enclosure and includes a bracket for wall mounting. If needed, you can purchase an optional DIN rail mount or magnetic mount, available in the related products section below the description.

The Flex 2.5G PoE supports essential Layer 2 management features, including port isolation, flow control, jumbo frames, STP, and RSTP.

Application

The Flex 2.5G PoE is an excellent access switch for UniFi networks, providing a 2.5 Gb/s connection throughput—a crucial feature for modern Wi-Fi 7 access points. With its 10G interface, the switch allows for full 2.5 Gb/s bandwidth across multiple ports, ensuring high-speed connectivity and efficient network performance.
