Slim Specs Table

Compact Design Meets Enterprise Performance

The Flex Mini packs impressive capabilities into a small desktop footprint measuring just 117.1mm × 90mm × 21.2mm. Its polycarbonate housing provides durability while maintaining a clean, professional appearance that fits seamlessly into any workspace. The compact size makes it perfect for space-constrained environments where traditional rack-mounted switches won’t fit, yet it delivers the performance typically found in larger enterprise hardware.

Flexible Power Options for Any Setup

Power flexibility sets this switch apart from competitors. You can power it through standard PoE (802.3af/at) delivering up to 6.4W per port, or use the included USB-C adapter for locations without PoE infrastructure. This dual-power capability means you can deploy the switch anywhere – whether you have existing PoE switches or need to power it from a standard wall outlet. The switch consumes a maximum of 5W, making it energy-efficient for continuous operation.

Advanced Network Management Features

As a managed switch, the Flex Mini offers sophisticated networking capabilities through the UniFi Network Controller. Features include port mirroring for network monitoring, rate limiting to control bandwidth usage, and broadcast storm control to prevent network congestion. The switch supports STP/RSTP protocols with port-level configuration, allowing you to optimize network topology and prevent loops. Jumbo frame support enables efficient handling of large data transfers, while the 25 Gbit/s switching capacity ensures smooth performance across all connected devices.
