Featuring three Ethernet ports with gigabit speeds and two ports supporting PoE output. Including IP66 weatherproof protection, flexible power options and Omada app and SDN management, the Flex Bridge 5 delivers reliable indoor and outdoor point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connectivity.
Features
Flex Bridge 5
Omada 5 GHz 867 Mbps Long-Range Connectivity for Indoors/Outdoors Wireless Flex Bridge
- Works with Flex & Sector bridges for Point-to-Point/Multipoint Bridging: Supports bridging between Flex Bridges, optimised for 8 nodes, and up to 32 with a Sector Bridge hub. (This capacity is achievable only when used with Sector Bridge 5. The stated value is based on laboratory testing. Actual capacity may vary due to installation conditions, mounting location, network traffic, radio frequency interference (RFI), and other factors.)
- Long-Range 5 GHz 867Mpbs Wireless Bridging up to 3.1 miles: Ideal for extending networks across buildings and remote locations. (The advertised coverage is calculated based on laboratory testing. Actual coverage is not guaranteed and will vary as a result of the performance of the equipped antennas, client limitations, and environmental factors.)
- Powering Surveillance with 2 x PoE Out Ports: Features 3 Gigabit PoE ports, including 2 PoE Out ports, easily powering IP cameras and simplifying surveillance network expansion.
- Role & DIP Switches for Simple Pairing: Seamless role switching with DIP switch for rapid bridge pairing. Reduces configuration and deployment complexity.
- Easy Alignment with Ball-Joint & Versatile Installation: Flexible wall and pole mounting with an optional ball-joint, allows for quick angle adjustment and fast deployments.
- Industry-Leading IP66 Weatherproof: IP66 weatherproof and 6 kV lightning protection safeguard your network in harsh outdoor environments. (Protection against lightning and electro-static discharge may be achieved through proper product setup, grounding, and cable shielding. Refer to the instruction manual and consult an IT professional to assist with setting up this product.)
- Flexible Power Supply Options: Supports 802.3at/af, Passive PoE (54V passive PoE adaptor included), and 12V DC, allowing flexible power supply via a PoE switch, the included passive PoE adaptor, or solar power.
- App-Guided Alignment for Optimal Performance: Simply bridge alignment with real-time signal strength visualisation on the Omada app.
- Remote Monitoring with Standalone & SDN Management: Use the Omada app for easy on-site setup-no internet required. For added flexibility, switch to Omada SDN, enabling cloud management via the Omada app or web portal for seamless control, and monitor from anywhere. (These functions require the use of an Omada controller.)
Flexible Bridge Point for 3.1 mi (5 km) Transmission
Delivers speeds up to 867 Mbps on 5 GHz with integrated 17 dBi high‑gain dual‑polarised directional antennas for long‑range, uninterrupted wireless transmission. (This capacity is achievable only when used with Sector Bridge 5. The stated value is based on laboratory testing. Actual capacity may vary due to installation conditions, mounting location, network traffic, radio frequency interference (RFI), and other factors.)
Flex Bridge Multipoint Deployment Options
Flex Bridges Working Together
Supports point-to-point and multipoint bridging between Flex Bridges, optimised at around 8 connected nodes.
Flex Bridges Connected to a Sector Bridge
When paired with a Sector Bridge hub, supports multipoint deployments of up to 32 Flex Bridges.
Powering Surveillance with 2x PoE Out Ports
Features 3 gigabit ports, including 1 PoE In to power the bridge and 2 PoE Out ports delivering up to 10W on a single port or 5W per port when both are used, easily powering IP cameras and simplifying surveillance network expansion.
Role & DIP Switches for Simple Pairing
Seamless role switching with DIP switch for rapid bridge pairing. Reduces configuration and deployment complexity.
*In general the bridge will connect within 2 minutes. If the bridge fails to connect, check the code/antenna alignment. Under factory settings, the network provisioning window is 2 hours. After this period, if you need to expand the network, you must reopen the provisioning window via the App, Controller, or Web interface. If the DIP switch settings on the Main AP are modified, the network will be reconfigured.
