Installing Switch Flex. Start with the site.

Put Switch Flex in the right part of the network.

We scope USW-Flex around the number and type of devices it will connect. Port speeds and uplinks need to match the equipment at both ends. A switch selected for cameras can have different requirements from one serving high-speed access points, workstations or another cabinet.

Installation details for USW-Flex

Power Method: PoE++. Max. Power Consumption: 5W (Excluding PoE Output) 51W (Including PoE Output). Dimensions: 122.5 x 107.1 x 28 mm (4.8 x 4.2 x 1.1"). Ambient Operating Temperature: 46W PoE output: -40 to 55° C (-40 to 131° F) 25W PoE output: -40 to 65° C (-40 to 149° F). These manufacturer figures inform the mounting, connection and site assessment; we check the final model and supporting equipment before installation.

Check the links and supporting equipment.

We check port media, uplink capacity and any transceivers or adapters required. Devices that need PoE may require a separate compatible source. We confirm this in the equipment list rather than assuming every Ethernet port supplies power.

Install for future servicing.

The work includes the agreed mounting, patching, labels and UniFi adoption. We confirm the switch management network and any VLAN or uplink settings with the system owner, then test the connected devices. Rack airflow and access remain part of the physical layout.
