Best Fit & Recommended For
Ubiquiti UniFi USW Flex Utility
The Ubiquiti UniFi USW Flex Utility is the outdoor weatherproof enclosure designed to house a USW-Flex switch — bundled with a 60 W PoE adapter that drives a 46 W downstream PoE budget. The whole point is running one cable out to the lot and fanning out to three or four cameras there, instead of home-running each one back inside.
