Tripp Lite N2LOCK-010-YW RJ45 Plug Lock Inserts 10 Pack

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N2LOCK-010-YW is a set of 10 color-coded RJ45 plug lock inserts designed to physically secure patch cables in active RJ45 ports. Each insert slides into an RJ45 jack and blocks unauthorized removal of the connected plug, helping enforce port-level access control on switches, patch panels, and wall jacks. The yellow color coding allows technicians to visually segment ports by zone, VLAN, priority level, or user group at a glance. These inserts are installed and removed with a compatible release tool, keeping accidental disconnections and unauthorized changes off the table in high-density or security-sensitive network environments.

These plug lock inserts are suited for structured cabling installations in commercial, enterprise, and data center environments where port security and cable management discipline are required. Network technicians and low-voltage installers typically deploy them on managed switches, patch panels, and telecommunications rooms where uncontrolled port access is a compliance or operational concern. The yellow color variant is useful for color-coding schemes that differentiate voice, data, management, or zone-specific connections across a patch field.

Key Features

• Physically locks RJ45 plugs in place to prevent unauthorized or accidental disconnection
• Yellow color coding supports visual port segmentation and cable management schemes
• Pack of 10 inserts for deployment across multiple ports or panels
• Requires a compatible release tool for removal, adding a layer of access control
• Universal RJ45 compatibility for use across standard 8P8C jacks on switches and patch panels

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard RJ45 8P8C ports found on network switches, patch panels, and wall jacks in structured cabling installations. A compatible release key is required for insert removal and is sold separately.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network technicians install these inserts using hand pressure; no special wiring tools are required. Before deploying in a live environment, confirm the correct cable is seated in each port, as removal requires a dedicated release tool. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling practices and any applicable site security policies when implementing port locking measures. Do not force the insert into non-standard or damaged jacks.
