Amphenol SOCAPEX Introduces New Locking Components

Improved Cybersecurity for Interconnected Systems

While strong password discipline is a tried and tested method of securing systems, these systems can also be attacked and breached via connectors. With this in mind, Amphenol SOCAPEX has developed a locking solution for 38999, RJFTV and USBFTV connectors and caps series.

Locks ensure additional security, by reducing the risk of manual unlocking of plugs and caps, thereby limiting deliberate intrusions through connectors. The new line includes CapLock, PlugLock and Metal CapLock solutions.

  • CapLock is a locking ring that prevents direct access to the cap mounted on a receptacle to secure access to the port. Once the Caplock is installed, it rotates freely around the cap, preventing its manual unlocking;
  • PlugLock is a ring that prevents intrusion on a port by locking the connection between the plug and the receptacle. Once installed around the coupling nut of the plug, PlugLock rotates freely around it, preventing manual unlocking;
  • Metal CapLock is a cap for receptacle that includes a coupling nut which can be activated or deactivated using a specific locking screw.

Amphenol SOCAPEX is the first company to develop a line of locking accessories that will help strengthen cybersecurity by protecting the connectors. [The] Amphenol SOCAPEX team has developed this product line based on customer needs for enhanced security. We are confident that this solution will help reduce the risk of cybersecurity breaches through increased connector protection,” explained César Lopez, Product Manager, Amphenol SOCAPEX C5ISR.
