Cyber security in networked systems with locking components from Amphenol: In view of the ever-increasing threat of cyber attacks worldwide, it is becoming increasingly important to protect systems from attackers from a wide variety of sources. Protection against unauthorized intrusion via digital channels is of enormous importance. But there are other risks: Unauthorized access to systems can also be gained via connectors, for example.
Amphenol has developed an interlocking solution for the 38999, RJFTV and USBFTV connector and cap series. Interlocks provide additional security by reducing the risk of manual unlocking of connectors and caps, thus limiting intentional intrusion via connectors. The product range includes CapLock, PlugLock and Metal CapLock solutions. CapLock is a locking ring that prevents direct access to the cap on a female connector to secure access to the port. Once the CapLock is installed, it rotates freely around the cap, preventing manual unlocking.
PlugLock is a ring that prevents entry into a connector by locking the connection between the plug and the socket. Once the PlugLock is installed around the coupling nut, it rotates freely around it and prevents manual unlocking.
Metal CapLock is a cap for sockets that includes a coupling nut that can be locked or unlocked by means of a specific locking screw.
