RJ45 Socket Lock

thingiverse

This RJ45 Socket lock prevents the casual removal of an RJ45 plug from an RJ45 socket. The two screws holding the socket to the back box hold the lock plate in place. I work in a high school, on occasion students have stolen network cables or looped two sockets together bringing down the whole network. This is a simple way to stop tampering with a network socket. I have a dual gang version of this which I will add soon.This design won't fit all sockets but it fits the three kinds we have in our school.
