What is the FLEX-04 (NV-FLX-04) adapter?

The FLEX4 (NV-FLX-04) adapter significantly extends Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) reach, outperforming traditional limitations. Compatible with the FLEX24 Switch, FLEX8 Switch, or FLEX-Base Extender, it features one uplink port and four downlink ports, with each downlink capable of delivering up to 30W of PoE. This versatility is enhanced by the inclusion of a local power option.

Designed to operate over 1, 2, or 4 pair UTP infrastructure, the FLEX4 adapter ensures 10/100Mbps, symmetrical full duplex connectivity. This setup is part of the FLEX series, aimed at simplifying network deployments over Multi-Pair UTP. By achieving extended reaches well beyond standard Ethernet capabilities, it effectively reduces the expenses and logistical challenges typically associated with Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF) closet installations.
