Omada 5 GHz 867 Mbps Long-Range Connectivity, In-/Outdoor Wireless Flex Bridge
The TP-Link Omada Flex Bridge 5 is a versatile outdoor wireless bridge engineered for professional point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connectivity. It supports IEEE 802.11a/n/ac operation in the 5 GHz band with a maximum physical wireless signaling rate of 867 Mbps. Two integrated dual-polarized 17 dBi directional antennas provide a 40° horizontal and 18° vertical beamwidth, supporting specified wireless transmission distances of up to 5,000 meters. An additional 2.4 GHz radio is dedicated to device management.
Three Gigabit Ethernet interfaces provide flexible wired connectivity. One port operates as the PoE input, while two additional ports support PoE Out for powering devices such as compatible surveillance cameras. A single PoE Out port can deliver up to 10 W, or up to 5 W per port when both outputs are used simultaneously. The bridge supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE, Passive PoE, and 12 V DC power input, with a Passive PoE adapter included.
Role and pairing-code DIP switches simplify bridge deployment, while app-guided alignment with real-time signal strength visualization assists installers in accurately positioning the directional antenna. The device can be managed locally through the Omada App or web interface and can also be integrated into Omada SDN for centralized management through Omada Central, an Omada Hardware Controller, or an Omada Software Controller. Combined with its IP66 weatherproof enclosure, wall and pole mounting options, and specified 6 kV lightning protection, the Flex Bridge 5 provides a robust platform for professional outdoor wireless and surveillance networks.

The TP-Link Omada Flex Bridge 5 is designed for professional wireless connectivity between buildings, outdoor areas, and physically separated network locations. Operating in the 5 GHz band, it supports point-to-point links over specified distances of up to 5 km. It also supports point-to-multipoint deployments between multiple Flex Bridge 5 units and can be combined with a separately available Sector Bridge 5 hub for larger multipoint installations with up to 32 Flex Bridges.
The Flex Bridge 5 is particularly suitable for IP surveillance deployments because its PoE input is complemented by two Gigabit PoE Out ports capable of powering compatible IP cameras. Typical deployment environments include business parks, manufacturing facilities, resorts, ports, and other outdoor locations where installing conventional wired infrastructure would be difficult or costly. Its IP66 weatherproof enclosure, specified -40 °C to +70 °C operating temperature range, and support for wall or pole mounting provide additional flexibility for demanding outdoor installations.
