The Flex Mini 2.5G is Ubiquiti's 5-port 2.5 GbE switch, rated at 25 Gbps switching capacity with VLANs, port isolation, mirroring, jumbo frames and loop protection, managed through UniFi. It can be powered by USB-C or PoE on its fifth port. ServeTheHome recommended it for UniFi users needing five low-power ports, measuring about 1.3 W at idle. There is no PoE output and no standalone management, and the housing is light-duty polycarbonate.
