Security plates for RJ45 sockets

[enjay]

Does anyone know where I can buy something like https://www.rapidonline.com/connectix-008-001-002-03-security-bracket-19-5510? They've been discontinued and only other place we've found them was a local hardware shop which closed recently.

Would something like this do the job

That doesn't stop people unplugging the patch leads?

 

The only things I've seen are bits of plastic that lock the locking tab in place.

Sorry, one of those "non technical" solutions would be better here; both these options invite actual damage to sockets rather than inconvenience! If someone's bored enough they'll pluck that cable out without a second thought.

You could try trimming the tab on the RJ45 plug itself, just short enough that it tucks in behind the fascia of the wall plate but still long enough to lock the plug. You'd then just need the right shaped peperclip to unhook it if you needed to unplug.

 

YMMV depending on the design of the wall module moulding.

Not cheap, but would these work?

We use something similar to this , the covers need to be unscrewed to access the cable obviously not full proof but might help
