USB Type B Port Locks

The need for our Smart Keeper USB Type B Port Lock is so great that, on occasion, we consider pricing them by the pound, or by the bushel. Just look around any workspace today. Within arm’s length and extending as far as the workspace permits there are USB Type B ports – usually on scanners and printers. Some are actually in use, connecting components or carrying data for high-speed transfer.

The USB Type B port lock is intended to be deployed on connected devices so that any malicious activity that attempts to bridge this network connection will be halted by a physical barrier at the initial port.
