Port blocker ShiverPeaks 08-01036 RJ-45 White with Key

The ShiverPeaks 08-01036 RJ-45 port blocker in white is a hardware accessory designed to protect ethernet ports from unauthorized access and accidental use. It physically covers the RJ-45 jack and comes with a matching key that allows authorized personnel to unlock and remove the blocker when needed. Intended for network security in shared or public spaces, the blocker reduces the risk of tampering, unauthorized connections, and casual cable insertion.

How to use
