Lock it or not. Your choice.
These one-of-a-kind cables give you the ability to lock down critical network ports when you need to—without buying new patch cords.

Use these component-level cables for your everyday network connections. Then if you decide you need to secure network ports, you can—in seconds. Just slip an optional Locking Pin into the built-in locking tab on the patented, slimline boot. Now your connection is absolutely protected from unauthorized removal and accidental disconnects. To unplug the cable, release with the Removal Tool (sold separately).

Best of all, because these cables cost the same as regular patch cords, you get convenient, rock-solid security on a budget.

The locks and key.
The Locking Pins (sold separately) come in convenient packs of 10 and 25. Keep a bag on hand so that you're ready when you need to lock down critical network ports. Now no one can come along and unplug your cable. It stays locked until you decide to release it.

Protect critical network ports.
GigaTrue® 3 cables are one of the simplest and most inexpensive yet most effective ways you can increase your Layer 1 security. Use them to protect mission-critical and publicly accessible network ports from unauthorized access and tampering, especially in government offices, conference rooms, lobbies, hotels, airports, event centers, and more.

Prevent accidental disconnects.
These cables are ideal for preventing accidental disconnects, particularly in mission-critical, industrial, and manufacturing applications.

Rugged, patented boots.
No one is going to break these boots or pull out your cable! The cable is integrated into the extremely rugged, hard-polymer shell to protect it and to prevent tampering. The boot's snag-free, slimline form fits all standard RJ-45 openings.

Premium performance.
You won't sacrifice performance for security. These component-level cables are tested to 650 MHz and guaranteed for life. Use them for all your network connections. Choose from four colors and six lengths. CAT6 cables are also available.
