LockPORT Key Locking SM Patch Cable

Boost your physical network security starting at the port. Here's one of the simplest and inexpensive, yet most effective ways you can increase your Layer 1 security. Lock up your network ports with LockPORT Security Locking Patch Cables. If someone can't disconnect your network cable connections—either intentionally or accidentally—they can't tamper with and bring down your network.

Another danger to your network are cable connections that work loose over time or are accidentally knocked out. Loose cable connections are also one of the largest causes of network downtwime.

The Key Lock cable features a specially designed clip, which can’t be released without the special Removal Tool (KEY-BK sold separately). To unlock the cable, simply insert the Tool in the clip.
