Product Information

Full details

The Lindy RJ45 Port Blocker Key in Yellow is designed for IT administrators, AV integrators, and facilities managers who need to physically secure unused Ethernet ports on networks and AV equipment. Its key benefit is preventing unauthorized cable connections, rogue devices, or foreign objects from accessing sensitive ports, thereby enhancing network security and preventing damage. A key caveat is that while it offers a strong physical deterrent, it will not stop a determined attacker intent on gaining access. This guide covers its features, usage, and maintenance.

FAQs

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

The primary purpose is to physically block unused RJ45 network ports, preventing unauthorized connections, the insertion of foreign objects, and acting as a visual deterrent.

Are the keys and blockers interchangeable between different colors?

No, the keys are color-specific. A yellow key will only work with yellow port blockers. This allows for differentiated access control.

What material is the port blocker made from?

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

How easy is it to install and remove the port blocker?

Installation and removal are designed to be quick and tool-free. The blocker latches into the port like a standard connector and is released by inserting the matching key until it clicks.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Lindy RJ45 Port Blocker Key comes with a 2-year warranty period.

Can this blocker prevent determined hackers from accessing the port?

The Lindy RJ45 Port Blocker provides a strong physical and visual deterrent. However, it is not designed to prevent a determined attacker who has physical access and the intent to bypass it.

What are the dimensions of the port blocker?

The port blocker has dimensions of 20 mm (Width) x 74.5 mm (Depth) x 5.9 mm (Height).

Is this product compatible with all RJ45 ports?

It is designed for standard RJ45 ports. It is important to note that these are not compatible with previous generations of Lindy port blockers.

Troubleshooting

Blocker is difficult to insert or remove.

Ensure the port is clean and free of obstructions. For removal, make sure the key is fully inserted until it clicks before pulling. Verify you are using the correct color-coded key for the blocker.

Key does not engage with the blocker.

Confirm that the key and the blocker are of the same color. Ensure there is no debris inside the key or blocker mechanism. Check that you are using a Lindy-branded key with a Lindy blocker.

Blocker does not feel secure in the port.

The RJ45 port may be slightly out of specification. Ensure the blocker is fully seated. If the issue persists, consider using a different port or evaluating the port's condition.

Lost the yellow key.

You will need to purchase a replacement Lindy RJ45 Port Blocker Key in Yellow (or a pack of keys/blockers) as keys are color-specific and not universally interchangeable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a simple and effective physical barrier against unauthorized network access.
  • Color-coding system aids in managing access controls across different network segments.
  • Tool-free installation and removal are quick and convenient.
  • Acts as a clear visual indicator of unused or secured ports.
  • Durable construction ensures long-term use.

Cons

  • Solely a physical deterrent; does not prevent determined malicious intent.
  • Key is specific to the color of the blocker, requiring careful management to avoid loss or misplacement.
  • Requires purchasing a separate key for each color of blocker needed.
  • Not compatible with previous generations of Lindy port blockers.
  • Adds a minor step to port management processes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify unused RJ45 network ports that require securing.
  2. Take a Lindy RJ45 Port Blocker (Yellow) and align it with the corresponding color-coded key.
  3. Insert the key into the blocker until it engages.
  4. Plug the blocker into the RJ45 port. Hold the blocker in place while carefully pulling the key away.

Removal:

  1. Insert the matching color-coded key back into the installed blocker.
  2. Push the key in until you hear or feel a 'click'.
  3. Gently pull the key away, which will release the blocker from the port.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible Ports: RJ-45 Ethernet ports.
  • Key Compatibility: This yellow key is ONLY compatible with Lindy Yellow RJ45 Port Blockers. It will not work with blockers of other colors.
  • Note: These blockers are not compatible with previous generations of Lindy port blockers.

Care:

  • Material: Made from durable Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS).
  • Cleaning: To clean, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the plastic.
  • Storage: Store keys and blockers in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
