LC fibre optic adapter lock

The LockIT LC optical fibre adapter lock has joined Siemon's LockIT line of secure network connectivity. This new, tamper-proof adapter lock protects against unauthorised access to unused LC ports and can be used to secure nearly any LC optical fibre-based network infrastructure. The system is designed to provide physical layer security without adding complexity or impacting overall functionality and density.

The LockIT LC optical fibre adapter lock has joined 697 Siemon's LockIT line of secure network connectivity. This new, tamper-proof adapter lock protects against unauthorised access to unused LC ports and can be used to secure nearly any LC optical fibre-based network infrastructure. The system is designed to provide physical layer security without adding complexity or impacting overall functionality and density.

The LockIT adapter lock snaps securely into any industry-standard LC port, blocking cord access and preventing tampering. Removable only with a specially designed key, the lock fits flush within the port, providing full access to adjacent ports regardless of density, and it is brightly coloured to allow network personnel to quickly identify locked ports. These new secure components are system- and cabling performance-independent, allowing them to secure any active equipment LC port, or passive LC patching, plug and play or work area port.

    Camera technology a flexible and cost-effective option
    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti

    Accidental or malicious issue of false messages to connected vehicles could result in dire consequences, so secure systems of authentication and certification are likely to be necessary, write Paul Avery and Sandra Dykes. Connectivity among vehicles in urban traffic systems will provide opportunity for beneficial impacts such as congestion reduction and greater safety. However, it also creates security risks with the potential for targeted disruption. Security algorithms, protocols and procedures must take
