A data outlet socket assembly 1 incorporates a conventional jack 4 (for example an RJ45 jack) and a switch 6. The switch may be a key operated switch or a key pad operated switch. The switch controls connection of the jack 4 to a wiring system whereby when the switch is in the "0" position the jack does not provide a workable connection to the wiring system. The switch may be used to prevent unauthorised access to a computer network or unauthorised use of a telephone system. The switch may simple open circuit one or more connections between the wiring and the jack or may provide a positive connection between one or more conductors of the wiring system and another conductor or earth, thereby providing a signal to a central monitoring system as to the status of the switch. |
