IP MIGRATION MADE SIMPLE
NVT PHYBRIDGE
FLEX SWITCH
Fast Ethernet and
PoE++ (50 watts per
port) over 2,000ft
(610m) Reach
The FLEX managed switch delivers fast Ethernet and PoE++ (50 watts per port) over
multiple pairs of UTP cable with six times the reach of traditional switches.
FLEX was designed to simplify IP migration by eliminating the need for IDF closets
given the long reach capabilities. Benets include:
• Accelerating your return on investment by reducing infrastructure costs.
• Collapsing planning and deployment time.
• Eliminating infrastructure barriers, risks, disruption and costs.
• Creating a robust IP platform that is easy to congure, deploy and manage.
Unlike other Network Switches, FLEX Delivers:
Speed, Reach and Power
The Flex switch can operate in standard mode (without an adapter) and long reach
PoE mode for extended reach. One switch, many options.

FLEX Switch
At-a-Glance
The FLEX switch is a high-performing,
enterprise grade, 24 Port managed switch
that helps maximize your return on investment
and reduce your total cost of ownership.
FLEX can leverage 2 or 4 pair UTP
infrastructure to create a robust platform
delivering high power for your IP devices.
Cable Type Data Rate Reach
4 pair CAT5e 100 Mbps 2,000ft / 610m
2 pair CAT5e 100 Mbps 1,000ft / 300m
2 pair CAT5e 10Mbps 2,000ft/ 610m
1 pair CAT5e 100 Mbps 950ft / 290m (adapter must be locally powered)
Industry Leading PowerWISE® Technology
Power sharing for redundancy, load balancing, AC/DC options, hot swappable power
supply and auto sensing 100-240VAC delivering 500 to 1,000 watts of power.
FLEX is one of the most energy efcient switches on the market consuming less than
20 watts of power to operate.
Managed Switch with Plug-and-Play Option
FLEX can operate in transparent mode functioning as a bridge allowing for plug-and-
play deployment or as a fully managed switch with high value features including:
• Power management by port for easy reset of ports.
• Port MAC locking for higher security and peace of mind.
• Simple Network Manager, an intuitive web GUI that makes managing the switch
a breeze.
Advantages
• Quick, easy and cost effective IP
migration eliminating the need for
multiple IDF closets
• Robust enterprise grade switch features
ensuring uptime
• Simple GUI interface making conguring,
managing and troubleshooting the
network a breeze

FLEX-Link Adapter
The FLEX-Link adapter enables extended Ethernet and PoE reach beyond traditional distances. The Flex
-Link adapter, when used with the Flex Switch, delivers fast Ethernet (100 Mbps, symmetrical full duplex)
and PoE++ (up to 50W) over four pair UTP, PoE+ over two pairs UTP (up to 30W) with reach of up to 2,000ft
(610m). To account for cable losses and increase PoE delivery, the FLEX-Link adapter has the option of using
a local external power supply as well. FLEX-Link adapter is designed specically to enable easy deployment
over UTP for reaches beyond that of standard Ethernet eliminating the costs and disruption associated with
IDF closet requirements.
