RJ45 port blocker ShiverPeaks BS08-01031 green — set with 10 locks and 1 key

ShiverPeaks RJ45 port blocker BS08-01031 green is a set of physical locks designed to prevent unauthorized insertion of Ethernet cables into RJ45 network ports. The pack includes ten individual port locks and a single master key for controlled removal, offering a simple mechanical solution to reduce the risk of unsanctioned network connections in shared or public environments. The green colour provides clear visual identification of protected ports and can be used to mark specific access policies or restricted outlets.

Advantages

The set provides a straightforward, non-electronic method to control physical access to RJ45 sockets without modifying network hardware. Installation and removal are performed with a single supplied key, allowing administrators to manage multiple ports quickly. The compact design occupies minimal space on patch panels and wall outlets while clearly indicating which ports are blocked. The mechanical nature of the locks means they do not require power or software integration, reducing maintenance and compatibility concerns.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Securing network cabinets and patch panels
• Preventing unauthorized access in offices and open-plan workspaces
• Protecting classroom and lab network outlets
• Restricting public area ethernet ports in libraries, hotels and airports
• Temporary port control during maintenance or network reconfiguration

Key specifications

• Quantity: 10 port locks and 1 master key
• Compatibility: standard RJ45 Ethernet ports
• Colour: green for visual identification
• Material: durable plastic body with internal locking mechanism
• Operation: mechanical insertion and key removal; no power required

How to use

Insert an individual port lock into the unused RJ45 socket until it seats fully; the locking mechanism engages to prevent cable insertion. To remove a blocker, insert the supplied master key and turn or pull according to the lock design to release the mechanism, then withdraw the blocker. Use the key to manage multiple locks across racks, outlets or workstations as needed. Follow standard physical security procedures when distributing and storing the master key to prevent unauthorized unlocking.

Recommendations

Store the supplied key in a secure location and consider keeping a spare in controlled custody. Label blocked ports if you need to distinguish between permanently disabled sockets and temporarily blocked ones. Check compatibility with non-standard or recessed RJ45 outlets before purchase.
