Its compact design helps preserve connector contacts and reduce the need for routine cleaning in network equipment, patch panels, switches and wall outlets.

Its color-coded blue finish makes it easy to identify protected ports and maintain consistent cabling standards. Supplied as a single unit, it is lightweight, easy to install and remove without tools, and does not interfere with adjacent ports.

• Identifying protected or reserved ports using color coding

How to use

Align the dust cover with the RJ-45 port opening and press gently until the cover snaps into place. To remove, pull the cover straight out or lever gently at the edge to release the snap fit.
