Protect Critical SFP Ports from Tampering, Damage or Unauthorised Access

The Lindy SFP Port Blocker provides a fast, effective way to physically secure unused SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) network ports. These compact blockers are ideal for safeguarding fibre infrastructure in sensitive IT environments, AV-over-IP setups, and networked installations where access control is essential.

By preventing unauthorised connections, accidental cable insertions or foreign object intrusion, Lindy SFP Port Blockers reduce the risk of port damage and potential downtime. A robust insertion mechanism keeps each blocker firmly in place, with colour-coded keys ensuring only authorised removal. Additional keys and blocker packs are also available.

SECTION 4 - KEY BENEFITS

Key Benefits

Integrates analogue equipment into Dante® systems
Converts two channels of analogue XLR audio into Dante® digital audio, allowing existing mixers, DSPs, DI boxes and wireless receivers to be used within modern networked environments.

Reduces cabling complexity
By carrying audio over standard network infrastructure, the encoder can replace longer analogue or multicore cable runs with a single network cable.

Supports professional audio quality
With 24-bit audio and sample rates up to 96kHz, the encoder supports clean, accurate signal conversion for demanding AV and audio workflows.

Flexible power for easier installation
Power can be supplied via USB-C or 802.3af PoE, helping installers deploy the unit in racks, behind equipment or in temporary production setups.

Scalable routing and system control
Support for Dante® Controller software allows users to configure routing and manage audio channels across Dante® networks as systems expand.

Built for professional environments
The compact metal enclosure and included mounting ears make the encoder suitable for live events, corporate venues, broadcast systems and fixed AV installations.

SECTION 5 - TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Typical Applications

The 2ch XLR Audio to Dante® Encoder is ideal for connecting analogue audio sources such as mixers, DSPs, DI boxes, compressors and wireless microphone receivers to Dante® enabled networks. It is well suited to live sound systems, broadcast environments, corporate AV installations, education spaces, houses of worship and venues where reliable long-distance audio distribution is required.
