To combat this, Plug Guard features a simple but effective locking device, which stops inadvertent disconnection of patch cords from outlets and patch panels by preventing access to the data plug release latch.
The only way to release the plug from the socket is with the special Plug Guard key, which can be retained by the network manager.
Suitable for use with any RJ45 plug and easily retro-fitted to most Unilan Ultimax faceplates and patch panels, the Plug Guard is available in three different colours allowing easy differentiation between voice and data systems.
For companies which do not need to replace all the outlets in their network system, AX distribution also stock the Unilan Ultimax Safe Clip - a data plug mounted device that prevents the plug release latch from being operated when connected to any RJ45 data socket - together with Unilan Ultimax patch panels and the revolutionary new Flapjack low angle outlet module.
"In a high tech business such as ours, it's sometimes easy to overlook a simple answer to a problem," said AX sales and marketing manager David Kielty.
"These new products provide an efficient solution to those who don't understand the potential problems caused by unplugging a cable that looks like a telephone socket, but is actually a computer network connection carrying critical information.".
