Unifi Flex 2.5G POE Switch doesn't come with a power supply?!? I get that in 2026, phone companies have decided not to ship chargers, nominally to prevent e-waste. And I get that this switch could be powered by PoE, so maybe some people don't need the power adapter... But not including power for this switch felt really cheap and shitty. It's not like it is even USB C powered - It needs a proprietary DC power supply for another £70 / $90. I think if there had been an AC bundle (that cost more) and a PoE option without the power supply, I'd be feeling less angry, but it feels annoying to now have to source the power supply mid project, because it feels like they were being sneaky with not mentioning in a very visible way that there was no power adapter. The only mention is the little tool tip buried in the product spec. To be fair, I could have clicked on "what's in the box", but it just never occurred to me that power would be optional.
