Palm-Sized 5-Port Gigabit Switch with Dual Power Options and Full Layer 2 Management Through UniFi Network The Ubiquiti UniFi Flex Mini (USW-Flex-Mini) is a 5-port Gigabit switch that fits in a palm and drops into tight spaces where a full rack switch would be excessive. At 107 x 70 x 21 mm and 150 grams, it installs under desks, behind monitors, inside AV cabinets, or in wall-mount enclosures. Powered by 802.3af PoE from an upstream switch port or by USB-C, it draws just 2.5W and runs fanless and silent. The Flex Mini operates in two modes: standalone as a plug-and-play unmanaged switch, or adopted into UniFi Network as a fully managed Layer 2 switch with VLAN tagging, port isolation, port mirroring, storm control, and jumbo frame support. Same hardware, same price, two deployment options depending on whether centralized management is needed. Where the USW-Flex-Mini Fits Home offices and desks with a single Ethernet drop where one uplink needs to fan out to five Gigabit ports for a workstation, VoIP phone, printer, and smart home devices without running additional cabling Conference rooms and AV cabinets where a compact switch adds ports for a display, room controller, camera, and speakerphone from a single PoE-powered uplink with no outlet or power adapter required Edge expansion in UniFi deployments where a wall plate or access point location needs additional managed ports with VLAN segmentation, and the switch inherits its configuration from the same UniFi console managing the rest of the site What the USW-Flex-Mini Delivers 5 Gigabit ports in a desktop form factor: All five RJ45 ports run at full 1 Gbps line rate. 10 Gbps switching capacity and 7 Mpps forwarding ensure no bottleneck when multiple devices communicate simultaneously. PoE or USB-C powered: Draws power from an 802.3af PoE uplink on port 1 (no outlet needed) or from the included USB-C adapter at 5V. Max consumption of 2.5W means zero heat and zero noise in the fanless polycarbonate enclosure. Managed or standalone operation: Works as a plug-and-play switch out of the box. Adopt into UniFi Network for VLAN tagging (802.1Q), port isolation, port mirroring, storm control, jumbo frames, and centralized monitoring across the site. 1,000 VLANs and 2,000 MAC addresses: Full Layer 2 segmentation capability when managed. Supports enterprise-grade network isolation in a form factor that fits behind a monitor stand. Silent and compact: 107 x 70 x 21 mm, 150 grams. Fanless design rated from -5 to 45 C. ESD protection at 16kV air and 12kV contact. NDAA compliant.
