Product Information

Full details

The Lindy RJ45 Port Blocker is designed for IT administrators, AV integrators, and facilities managers seeking a simple and effective way to physically secure unused Ethernet ports across various networks. Its key benefit is preventing unauthorized device connections and protecting against foreign objects, offering a visual deterrent for inactive ports. A minor caveat is that while it deters tampering, it may not stop a determined attacker. This product provides a scalable, low-maintenance solution for network security and port management.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Lindy RJ45 Port Blocker?

Its primary purpose is to physically block unused RJ45 Ethernet ports to prevent unauthorized device connections, the insertion of foreign objects, and to serve as a visual indicator of inactive ports.

How does the color-coded key system work?

Each color of port blocker (e.g., black, green, orange, yellow) comes with a key of the same color. This key is the only way to remove the corresponding colored blocker, ensuring controlled access and easier management of multiple secured ports.

Can I use a key from one color set with blockers of a different color?

No, the keys are color-specific and will only work with port blockers of the exact same color. This is a security feature to ensure proper access control.

What are the dimensions of a single port blocker?

A single port blocker measures approximately 20 mm in width, 74.5 mm in depth, and 5.9 mm in height.

What material are the port blockers made from?

The port blockers are made from durable Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Lindy RJ45 Port Blockers come with a 2-year warranty period.

Does this product come with keys included?

The product described ('RJ-45 Port Blockers (Without Key) - Pack of 20, Black') is a pack of 20 blockers only and does not include keys. Separate key packs or full kits with keys need to be purchased.

Will this prevent a determined hacker from accessing the network?

The Lindy RJ45 Port Blockers provide a physical and visual deterrent. They are not designed to prevent a determined attacker who intends to physically tamper with the port. For higher security needs, consider network-level security measures.

Troubleshooting

Blocker won't insert into the port

Ensure the port is a standard RJ45. Check for any obstructions within the port. Verify you are using the correct blocker for an RJ45 port.

Key won't remove the blocker

Confirm you are using the correct color-coded key for the blocker. Ensure the key is fully inserted until it clicks. Check that the blocker is not damaged.

Blocker feels loose after insertion

Ensure the blocker was pushed in firmly until the latch engaged. Try re-inserting it, applying even pressure.

Lost the color-coded key

Contact Lindy for replacement key options or purchase a new pack that includes keys. Note that keys are color-specific.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong physical barrier against unauthorized access.
  • Offers a clear visual indicator for inactive or restricted ports.
  • Extremely easy and quick to install without any tools.
  • Color-coding system aids in managing access and keys.
  • Scalable solution suitable for both small and large network deployments.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.

Cons

  • Requires a specific color-coded key for removal, which can be lost.
  • Offers a basic physical deterrent; determined individuals may still bypass it.

  • Additional keys or blocker packs need to be purchased separately.
  • The blocker itself adds minimal bulk, but keys require separate storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify an unused RJ45 network port.
  2. Take a Lindy RJ45 Port Blocker and its corresponding color-coded key.
  3. Align the blocker with the port and push firmly until it clicks into place.
  4. Remove the key by pulling it away from the blocker.

Removal:

  1. Insert the matching color-coded key fully into the blocker until it clicks.
  2. Gently pull the key away from the port to release the blocker.

Compatibility:

  • Ports: Specifically designed for standard RJ45 Ethernet ports.
  • Colors: Keys are color-specific and will only work with blockers of the same color (e.g., a Yellow key with Yellow blockers).

Care:

  • Clean blockers with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Store keys in a secure location to prevent loss.
  • Ensure blockers are removed properly using the correct key to avoid damaging the port or the blocker.
