Network RJ45 Socket Lock by Alantec WT-BG-08, transparent, pack of 24 + key

Alantec WT-BG-08 is a transparent RJ45 socket lock supplied as a pack of 24 units with one key. It is designed to physically block access to Ethernet sockets and prevent unauthorized insertion of RJ45 plugs. The clear housing allows visual inspection of the port while maintaining port security, making it suitable for managed network environments where physical control of connections is required.

Advantages

The transparent material provides unobtrusive protection and visual confirmation that a lock is present without obscuring the socket. Supplied as a set of 24 locks plus a single key, the package supports multiple ports while keeping key management simple. The device is quick to install and remove with the matching key, enabling controlled, repeatable access to network jacks without tools.

• Offices and open-plan workspaces to restrict unauthorized access to network ports
• Server rooms and data closets to protect spare or sensitive Ethernet jacks
• Educational facilities and classrooms to control student access to network connections
• Public areas, kiosks and meeting rooms where temporary network access must be limited

How to use

Insert the lock into the RJ45 socket until it seats securely, ensuring the retention mechanism engages with the jack. To unlock, insert the supplied key and rotate or depress as required to release the lock, then remove it from the port. Follow facility procedures for key control and record which ports are secured to maintain an audit trail and simplify access management.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, test the lock on a spare or non-critical port before deploying across critical infrastructure. Store the key in a controlled location and label locked ports to inform maintenance staff. Do not force the lock into damaged or non-standard jacks.
