Product Information

Full details

The Lindy RJ45 Port Blocker is designed for IT administrators, AV integrators, and facilities managers seeking a simple yet effective physical security solution for unused network ports. Its key benefit is preventing unauthorized device connections and foreign objects from entering network infrastructure, thereby enhancing security and preventing accidental damage. A minor caveat is that the blockers only provide a physical deterrent and will not stop a determined attacker. This product offers a scalable, tool-free method for securing Ethernet ports on switches, patch panels, and wall sockets, using a color-coded key system for controlled access.

FAQs

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

Its primary purpose is to physically prevent unauthorized users from connecting cables or devices to unused RJ45 Ethernet ports, thereby enhancing network security and preventing foreign objects from entering ports.

How do I remove a port blocker?

To remove a port blocker, insert the matching color-coded key into the blocker until it clicks, then gently pull the key away from the port.

Are the keys interchangeable between different colored blockers?

No, the keys are color-specific. A key of a particular color will only work with port blockers of the same color.

What material are the port blockers made from?

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

Can these blockers prevent determined hackers?

These blockers provide a physical and visual deterrent. They are not designed to prevent a determined attacker with tools or intent to physically force access.

What is the warranty period for this product?

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

Can I buy extra keys or blockers separately?

Yes, Lindy offers additional keys and blocker packs separately for purchase.

Troubleshooting

Port blocker will not insert fully.

Ensure the port is a standard RJ45 socket and free from debris. Check that the blocker is correctly aligned.

Key will not remove the port blocker.

Verify that the key is the correct color for the installed blocker. Ensure the key is fully inserted into the blocker until it clicks. If the blocker feels jammed, do not force the key; try gently wiggling the blocker while applying pressure with the key.

Port blocker feels loose after installation.

Re-insert the blocker, ensuring it latches securely into the RJ45 port. Check the port itself for damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong physical barrier against unauthorized access.
  • Easy and quick to install and remove without tools.
  • Color-coding system aids in managing access control effectively.
  • Scalable solution suitable for managing many ports.
  • Acts as a clear visual indicator of port status.

Cons

  • Offers only a physical deterrent; not effective against determined physical intrusion.
  • Keys are color-specific, requiring careful management to avoid incompatibility.
  • Potential for lost keys could lead to inaccessible ports until replacements are obtained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate color-coded key that matches your port blocker.
  2. Align the key with the blocker inserted into the RJ45 port.
  3. Insert the key firmly into the blocker until it clicks.
  4. Gently pull the key away from the port to remove the blocker.
  5. To install, simply push the blocker into the RJ45 port until it latches securely.

Compatibility:

  • Designed exclusively for standard RJ45 Ethernet ports.
  • Important: Port blockers and keys are color-specific. A black key will only work with black blockers, a yellow key with yellow blockers, and so on. Ensure you are using matching color sets.
  • Not compatible with previous generations of Lindy port blockers.

Care:

  • Clean the blockers and keys with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Store keys safely to prevent loss, ideally in a designated location or keychain.
