Ubiquiti UniFi USW-Flex-2.5G-5 5-Port 2.5G L2 Managed Switch - 2.5GbE x5

It just works, not sure why BrendanG6 has problems with port 4 & 5, maybe a setup issue or a faulty unit, I can confirm ALL 5 ports work together with or without vlans It just works, not sure why BrendanG6 has problems with port 4 & 5, maybe a setup issue or a faulty unit, I can confirm ALL 5 ports work together with or without vlans

At first, it looks like the Port4 / Port5 (PoE in) might have some sort of internal conflict, though after "adopting" it into my Ubiquiti network and letting it do a firmware update, it seems to be fully resolved and working as expected — 5 ports of 2.5 GbE goodness!

Its not a bad little unit for those on 2gbit hyper fiber that need to add in a few more devices.
Simply plug it in and it works.
But heres the real kicker. It says 5 port but you can only use 4 ports at once on it.
Port4 and POE Port 5 are tied together data wise so you can only use 1 of those two ports at a time.
If you have something in port 4 then port 5 will not transfer data until you unplug port 4.
So really it should be advertised as 4 port with a POE optional port. Its not a bad little unit for those on 2gbit hyper fiber that need to add in a few more devices.

Loved its sleek design, fits perfect in my network box.
4 ports and one POE/LAN port = 5 ports.
(Quick tip: Make sure you DONT connect the cable coming in from the router to the POE port, I learnt it the hard way, hope it helps from a non-techy). Loved its sleek design, fits perfect in my network box.

i ordered this paired with a ux7, satisfied this works quite seamlessly i ordered this paired with a ux7, satisfied this works quite seamlessly

Integrates with Unifi network well and is at a reasonable price for a 2.5gb switch, though there are cheaper options available if you don't need a managed Unifi switch Integrates with Unifi network well and is at a reasonable price for a 2.5gb switch, though there are cheaper options available if you don't need a managed Unifi switch

This 2.5Gb switch is ideal as an endpoint in a POE enviroment. A port on the switch can be the upstream data port while also powering the switch from the upstream.
A local power plug is not required in this instance,
It is managed by the unifi management environment.
In my case, this was downstream from my CloudGateway Ultra, which manages my environment.
The switch was onboarded efortlessly.

Great little switch for the price, works with Unifi really well and has some basic vlan support per port too (cannot replace a proper router though) Great little switch for the price, works with Unifi really well and has some basic vlan support per port too (cannot replace a proper router though)

Good for when you're using the express or express 7 with just 1 LAN port on it, matches the express 7's 2.5gbe. While not being super expensive Good for when you're using the express or express 7 with just 1 LAN port on it, matches the express 7's 2.5gbe. While not being super expensive

The small for factor makes it perfect as a desk extension from your main router.

The build quality is excellent. It looks and feels premium without the matching price tag.

Powered over POE reducing the footprint makes this product a no brainer for those wanting to make the most of hyper fibre. The small for factor makes it perfect as a desk extension from your main router.
