RJ Patch Locks and Blockout Devices

Quickly add a layer of physical security to your IT assets with a range of RJ Lockdown devices.

Available as either cable locks or port block out devices, these are ideal for use in communal areas, preventing removals and connections of RJ45 cables, whether accidental or deliberate. Universal and cost-effective solutions fit most RJ patch installations and are therefore compatible with Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6a networks. Securing patch cables and blocking RJ45 ports helps to reduce helpdesk support calls and ensures maximum network uptime.

RJ Lockdown patch cable locks can be quickly installed, securing on to a patch cable in a data outlet or patch panel, or active equipment such as a PC, telephone handset, switch or router.  This solution is used across many industries but has been found to be very effective in schools, hotels, retail and shared communal areas.  Each pack includes a pair of plastic locks, for each end of the patch cable and the option of either Allen or Torq securing screws supplied with the corresponding metal keys.

  • Eliminate accidental and deliberate disconnections
  • Reduce network downtime and user disruption
  • Physically block out empty network outlets, patch panel and switch ports
  • Available from stock for immediate despatch
  • Reduce theft of IT equipment and patch cables

RJ45 Patch Cord Locks and RJ45 Jack Blocks

With regards to network security, prevention is better than cure. All IT networks present an element of risk, but reducing that risk must always remain high on the agenda. When you think ‘Network Security’ it’s usually firewalls, virus scanning and intrusion detection that springs to mind as the external threats, but what about the internal threat? Often, there are dozens of open network ports ready to be violated, intentionally or not. Therefore, the biggest risk might not be from an outside attack, but instead an employee, contractor, or visitor, whether accidental or deliberate.

Category 6A Short Length RJ45 Patch Cables – 26AWG F/STP LS0H Snagless RJ45 Boot

The Cat6a 10Gigabit-BaseT short length is available as a 20cm option. They’re manufactured using a S/FTP shielded construction, coupled with a LS0H cable jacket and 50µm gold connectors. The RJ45 ends have flush moulded snagless boots and as expected, certified to 500Mhz to meet global Cat6a standards.

RJ Locks are universal and can be used with most cabling systems and devices that have a RJ45 outlet, without the need for a specific type of patch cable.  This effective patch cable locking is used to physically lock an installed cable in to position, whereas a jack block out will prevent a patch cable being inserted into an unused patch panel, switch or outlet port.

Patch Solutions Services

Here at Patch Solutions, we provide a premium range of Slim diameter RJ45 network patch cables, making them an ideal choice for high density installations, creating up to a 30% cable space saving.

Our ever-popular short length patch cables have been the preferred choice for new network patching installations for the past decade. They’re ideal for panel to switch port replication, making them a perfect option for 1U and 2U network patching.

Our Cat6 security patch cable design improves compliance across any organisation, helping to protect assets without the need for additional investment in access control systems.

Manufactured using a flat cable jacket, these duplex assemblies are three times the thickness of standard patch cables, providing a far more robust construction and making them ideal for inter-rack connections.

Manufactured using thicker 1.5mm² power cable, our IEC jumper extension cables are robust in their construction, yet flexible for ease of installation using a PVC H05VV-F cable jacket.

Compatible with 250v/15A equipment, they are designed to operate in high ‘HOT’ temperatures for longer periods of time, unlike the thinner 10A equivalent.

Secure retention sleeves are pushed over IEC connectors and plugs to provide a tighter fit to an installed power cable. Once in place, up to four times the force will be required for the power cable to be removed.
