Ubiquiti USW-FLEX Reviews

Great utility switch with good PoE

By Alex
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-04-30

Installed outdoor to power two cameras and one access point. Very compact and great PoE capabilty. Installed on unifi enclosure. Very easy and great performance.

A great switch that provides power when only 1 CAT cable was run

I have multiples of these throughout installations. These are great to power up to 4 devices as long as the switch powering this device has enough POE output.

can i use this with Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Managed PoE+ Gigabit 8 Port Switch with SFP (150 W) if not any advice which one can i use ?
Asked by: johnny
Per Ubiquiti's datasheet for this product, the recommended power methods are the Unifi 50V/60W PoE adapter (not included; BH #UBPOE5060W), and the Unifi USW-24-POE and USW-Pro-24-POE switches. You could use it with the switched you indicated as long as you also use the PoE adapter.

The USW-Flex on the Ubiquiti website has four PoE+

The USW-Flex on the Ubiquiti website has four PoE+ out ports, but this product description says PoE only. Which one is right?
Asked by: Steven
The 4 Ethernet ports on the Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Flex 5-Port Managed Gigabit PoE Network Switch, B&H # UBUSWFLEX, can give you a PoE+ output as long as you power it with a PoE++ power adapter; if you use a PoE+ adapter, it will only offer standard PoE output. In short, it can offer both PoE and PoE+ output; which one you get will depend on what is used to power it.
