FAQ
What types of devices are compatible with the Kensington N17 lock?
The Kensington N17 lock is compatible with notebooks and tablets that feature a wedge-shaped security slot. This slot design is common on many modern laptops and portable devices from major manufacturers, allowing the lock to secure them without additional adapters. It is specifically engineered for this slot type to ensure a secure fit and prevent damage to the device port.
How does the keyed lock mechanism work?
The keyed lock mechanism uses a physical key to lock and unlock the cable. To secure a device, insert the lock into the wedge-shaped slot and turn the key to engage the locking mechanism. The key can then be removed, leaving the device locked in place. Unlocking requires the same key, providing controlled access and eliminating issues like forgotten combinations common with combination locks.
What is the cable length and material?
The cable is 6 feet (1.83 meters) long, made from cut-resistant carbon steel with a plastic coating. This length provides flexibility to secure devices to desks, tables, or other fixed objects while allowing reasonable movement. The carbon steel core offers high tensile strength and resistance to cutting attempts, ensuring durable protection against theft.
What does TAA compliance mean for this lock?
TAA compliance indicates that the Kensington N17 lock meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, which mandates that products purchased with U.S. federal funds must be manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries. This makes the lock eligible for use in government contracts, educational institutions receiving federal funding, and other procurement scenarios where regulatory compliance is required.
What warranty does the Kensington N17 lock include?
The Kensington N17 lock comes with a five-year limited warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, providing long-term assurance of the product's durability and reliability. It reflects Kensington's confidence in the lock's construction and its suitability for continuous security applications in business and institutional settings.
Is the lock resistant to tampering or cutting?
Yes, the Kensington N17 lock is designed with cut-resistant and tamper-resistant features. The carbon steel cable resists cutting tools, while the lock body is reinforced to prevent forced entry. These durability characteristics help deter theft attempts and ensure the lock maintains its security integrity over time, even in high-risk or public environments.
What connectivity or interface options are available?
Connectivity details help confirm how the product integrates with your network, accessories, and surrounding peripherals before rollout or replacement planning. They are often the difference between a technically compatible device and one that is genuinely easy to deploy.
