Port blocker ShiverPeaks 08-01032 RJ-45 Yellow with Key

The ShiverPeaks 08-01032 RJ-45 Yellow with Key is a compact port blocker designed to restrict unauthorized access to Ethernet ports and prevent accidental cable disconnection. Constructed for straightforward installation, the device fits standard RJ-45 sockets and includes a keyed locking mechanism and a removable key for controlled access. Its yellow color provides clear visual identification of secured ports in both home and office network setups.

Advantages

This RJ-45 port blocker offers a simple physical security solution without requiring software or network changes. The keyed lock reduces the risk of tampering and unauthorized plug-in attempts, while the durable plastic body withstands regular handling. The bright yellow finish improves visibility during maintenance and inventory checks and helps quickly identify ports that are intentionally blocked.

How to use

Insert the port blocker into an empty RJ-45 socket until it seats securely, then turn the key to engage the lock. Keep the key in a secure location to maintain control over access. To remove the blocker, insert the key, turn to unlock and gently withdraw the blocker from the port. Use one blocker per port you wish to secure; do not force the device into non-standard or damaged sockets.

Recommendations

For organized port management, label blocked ports and keep spare keys in a secure but accessible location for authorized personnel. Periodically inspect blocked ports for wear and replace the blocker if the fit becomes loose or the plastic shows signs of damage.
