RJ45 plug lock Alantec WT-BW-08, prevents unauthorized unplugging, transparent, pack of 24 with key

Alantec WT-BW-08 is a transparent RJ45 plug lock designed to prevent unauthorized unplugging of Ethernet cables. Supplied as a pack of 24 units with one key, this compact locking device secures RJ45 connectors in patch panels, wall sockets and outlet modules to help maintain continuous network connections and reduce accidental disconnections in shared or managed environments.

Advantages

The simple clip-on design fits standard RJ45 plugs without tools and is suitable for high-density cabling in data cabinets and patch panels. Providing physical cable retention helps reduce downtime and supports network management policies by preventing unauthorized physical access to Ethernet ports.

How to use

Push the RJ45 plug into the socket as usual, then position the Alantec WT-BW-08 over the plug so the clip engages the connector latch.

To remove the plug, insert the supplied key into the lock and rotate or press as required to release the clip, then withdraw the connector. No additional tools are required for installation or removal beyond the supplied key.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, verify compatibility with the specific connector and socket type before full deployment. Use one key centrally managed to control access, and store spare keys in a secure location. Inspect locks periodically for damage and replace any units showing wear to maintain secure connections.
