c# which collection to use multiple producers and a single consumer?

I have a bunch of threads producing objects (e.g. strings) and a single thread consuming batch of objects (e.g. serializing them and sending yo a remote server).

I want producers to be able to pish data as fast as possible. They should never lock because of other producers, not even by the consumer. Is this possible? How?

You can use a BlockingCollection, which by default wraps a ConcurrentQueue.

BlockingCollection is a thread-safe collection class that provides the following features:

An implementation of the Producer-Consumer pattern.

Concurrent adding and taking of items from multiple threads.
