FLEX4

 

(NV-FLX-04)

• Paired with FLEX24, FLEX8 or FLEX-Base
• 1 uplink port and 4 downlink ports
• Up to 30W PoE per downlink port
• Local power option

The FLEX4 adapter enables extended Ethernet and PoE reach beyond traditional distances 
using 1, 2 or 4 pair UTP infrastructure. When paired with the FLEX24 Switch, FLEX8 Switch or 
FLEX-Base Extender, the adapter delivers 10/100Mbps, symmetrical full duplex. The FLEX 

offering is designed specifically to enable easy deployment over Multi-Pair UTP for reaches 

beyond that of standard Ethernet eliminating the costs and disruption associated with IDF 
closet requirements.
