TP-Link Omada Flex Bridge 5: 5 GHz 867 Mbps indoor/outdoor wireless bridge, up to 5 km, three gigabit ports with two PoE out, IP66.
The TP-Link Omada Flex Bridge 5 is a 5 GHz 867 Mbps indoor/outdoor wireless bridge for point-to-point or multipoint links of up to 5 km (3.1 mi), with integrated 17 dBi directional antennas. It has three gigabit ports, two of which provide PoE out, and an IP66 enclosure.
Use a pair of Flex Bridge 5 units for a point-to-point link, or point several at a Sector Bridge 5 hub (TP-Link: up to 8 Flex nodes, or up to 32 with a Sector Bridge). Browse more wireless bridges and access points.
The two PoE out ports can power an IP camera or access point at the remote end, saving a separate injector.

Line of sight to the other end, a pole or wall position, outdoor-rated network cable, and a power source. A passive PoE adapter is included (for dry indoor use).
We are a supplier, not an installer. We will go through the Flex Bridge 5 with you before you buy — the distance and line of sight between the two sites, how the bridge will be powered, and what bandwidth you need at the far end — and depending on your requirements and your area we can recommend a qualified trade installer. We have been operating since 2012 and you can visit our trade counter in Wolverhampton.
Yes. Two of its three gigabit ports support PoE out, so it can power a camera or AP at the far end. TP-Link quote 26.06 W max with PoE out in use.
12 V DC, 802.3at/af PoE or passive PoE (adapter included). For PoE out, feed it from an 802.3at PoE+ switch such as the Omada SG2210MP (8 PoE+ ports) or SG2428P (24 PoE+ ports).
No. It works standalone (web or Omada app), and can be centrally managed by an Omada controller such as the OC200 or OC300, or Omada Central.
Yes. Bridge the network to an outbuilding, gatehouse or car park pole, and the PoE out ports can power a camera there.
Both reach 5 km. The Flex Bridge 5 adds PoE out and works with the Sector Bridge 5 hub for multipoint; the EAP215-Bridge KIT is a pre-paired point-to-point kit.
