FAQ
What does 'keyed alike' mean for this cable lock?
Keyed alike means multiple Kensington K64441L cable locks can be operated with the same physical key. This configuration simplifies security management for organizations deploying multiple locks, as authorized personnel need only one key to secure or access all protected devices rather than managing different keys for each individual lock.
What devices are compatible with this Kensington cable lock?
The K64441L cable lock is designed for notebooks and tablets equipped with standard Kensington Security Slot (K-Slot) compatibility. This includes most business laptops, ultrabooks, and tablets from major manufacturers that incorporate the universal security slot design for physical locking solutions.
How long is the security cable and is the length sufficient for typical use?
The cable measures 6 feet (1.83 meters) in length, providing adequate reach to secure devices to desks, tables, or fixed anchor points in office, classroom, or public environments. This length accommodates various furniture configurations while maintaining enough tension for effective security without excessive slack that could compromise protection.
What materials are used in the construction of this cable lock?
The K64441L combines a carbon steel core for cut resistance with a protective plastic outer layer. This dual-material construction provides essential security strength while preventing surface damage to secured devices. The plastic sheathing also offers flexibility for installation and helps maintain the lock's appearance over time.
What is the diameter of the security cable?
The cable has a 0.20-inch (5 mm) diameter, striking a balance between security substance and discreet appearance. This thickness provides visible deterrence while remaining slim enough for practical deployment in various workspace configurations without creating excessive bulk or visual distraction.
Is this cable lock suitable for securing multiple devices in an organization?
Yes, the keyed alike configuration makes the K64441L particularly suitable for organizations securing multiple devices. IT departments can deploy numerous locks that all operate with the same key, simplifying administration, reducing key management overhead, and ensuring consistent access control across the device fleet without the complexity of managing different keys for each secured item.
