==Vendor==
NVT Phybridge – www.nvtphybridge.com

==Description==
The FLEX family of switches provides long-reach Ethernet and PoE++ over multi-pair UTP cabling, extending network connectivity up to 2,000 feet (610m)—six times the distance of standard Ethernet switches. This allows organizations to modernize their network infrastructure without replacing existing cabling.

With the FLEX family of products, customers are taking full advantage of Modern LAN principles, protecting existing infrastructure assets, and eliminating any need to rip and replace the established UTP cabling. Accelerate ROI by cutting infrastructure costs and deployment time. Eliminate risks, disruptions, and expenses while simplifying IP modernization. Deploy a secure, plug-and-play IP platform that is efficient and environmentally responsible.

==Migration to IP==
'''Seamless Upgrade from Analog to IP'''

[[File:NVTPHY FLEXDiagram Topology.jpg|thumb|center]]

Transitioning from legacy analog systems to IP infrastructure can be challenging. The FLEX switch family simplifies this process by repurposing existing multi-pair UTP cabling, enabling a cost-effective and non-disruptive migration to modern IP networks. This approach eliminates the need for expensive and disruptive re-cabling projects, significantly reducing deployment time and costs while ensuring a seamless transition to modern IP and IoT applications.

==Summary==
NVT Phybridge has conducted extensive testing and confirmed that Innovaphone products work seamlessly with the FLEX family.

As Innovaphone does not require PTP (Precision Time Protocol), there are no synchronization issues, ensuring stable and reliable operation.

By simplifying deployment, reducing infrastructure costs, and offering long-distance, high-power PoE, the FLEX family of switches is a proven solution for businesses looking to modernize their networks while maximizing ROI and network efficiency.
