Professional Networked Audio Integration
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.
Physical Network Access Control
Blocks unauthorised SFP port use and deters accidental cable insertion
Fibre-Ready Protection
Ideal for delicate SFP connections in enterprise and AV-over-IP systems
Quick Installation
Tool-free deployment – install or remove in seconds
Visual Cue
Indicates unused ports or identifies disconnected endpoints
Low Cost, High Scalability
Ideal for large rollouts with minimal overhead
Latching Design
Mimics the clip action of real connectors – for a secure hold
Data Centres & Enterprise Network
Protect switchgear, routers and critical optical interfaces from disruption.
Education & Public Sector
Prevent tampering with fibre links in classrooms, libraries and shared facilities.
Retail & Hospitality AV Installations
Secure fibre-based AV equipment and signage systems in publicly accessible locations.
Facilities / Infrastructure
Visually mark inactive ports for future provisioning
Libraries / Shared Workspaces
Block unauthorised connections in public computing environments.
Healthcare & Labs
Protect equipment in clinical environments from unauthorised connections.
Lindy SFP Port Blockers deliver precise physical control over fibre ports, helping IT and AV professionals reduce risk and maintain infrastructure integrity. Easy to deploy, visually obvious and highly scalable, they’re the smart choice for any network where protection starts at the port.

The Lindy 2ch XLR Audio to Dante® Encoder provides a simple and reliable way to integrate analogue XLR audio sources into Dante® networked audio systems, making it ideal for professional AV, live sound, broadcast and installed audio environments.
Designed to bridge traditional analogue audio equipment with modern digital audio networks, this compact encoder converts two XLR input channels into low latency, uncompressed Dante® audio. With support for PoE, USB-C power and Dante® Controller software, it offers a flexible and scalable solution for integrating mixers, DSPs, DI boxes, compressors and wireless receivers into professional networked audio systems.
2 channel XLR audio input
Captures high quality analogue audio for Dante® network distribution.
Dante® and AES67 support
Enables integration into scalable professional audio networks.
USB-C or PoE powered
Flexible power options simplify installation and deployment.
Compact metal housing
Suitable for field use, rack setups and fixed AV installations.
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.
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.
The encoder supports Dante® and AES67 protocols with 24-bit audio and sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96kHz. It provides two XLR female inputs, one RJ45 network output and supports transmission distances up to 100m (328.08ft) over standard network infrastructure.
Power can be supplied via USB-C or 802.3af PoE, with maximum power consumption of 2.35W. The compact metal housing measures 127 x 53 x 26mm and is designed for practical use in portable, rack-mounted and fixed installation environments. The encoder is supplied with mounting ears and screws, a user manual and is backed by a 3-year warranty.
