Hi guys,

Is there such a thing as an lockable encasement or something similar
for a patch panel? We may have to share a cabling/rack room with
another tenant in our building and I'd like to make sure that nobody
else can plug into or remove things from our panel. If you know who
sells something similar, could you post a link?

Thanks.

A locking cabinet?

And about another dozen or two manufacturers.

They generally don't have something that can wrap around an existing
installation, because there's just so many different hardware out
there, there's no way anybody could predict anything about it.

Typically, just new installs go into a locking cabinet of some kind
for what you are looking to do.

Thanks so much, Doug. This may be a better option than rewiring an
entire floor.
