Product Overview
The Kensington K64823US Keyed Cable Lock for Surface Pro delivers reliable physical security for mobile computing devices in business and educational environments. Designed specifically for Surface Pro tablets and compatible with a wide range of notebooks, this cable lock provides a straightforward deterrent against opportunistic theft while maintaining device accessibility for authorized users.
Built with carbon steel construction, the lock offers durable protection that withstands tampering attempts while remaining lightweight enough for portable use. The keyed lock configuration provides a familiar and trusted security method that doesn't require batteries or electronic components, ensuring consistent operation regardless of power availability or technical expertise.
Technical Overview
This cable lock employs a mechanical keyed locking mechanism that engages securely with the universal security slot found on most modern notebooks and tablets. The carbon steel cable resists cutting attempts while maintaining flexibility for convenient attachment to fixed anchor points. The lock body interfaces directly with Surface Pro security slots and similar Kensington-compatible security ports on other devices.
The design prioritizes simplicity and reliability, with no software dependencies or network requirements that could complicate deployment. The physical key provides immediate access control without configuration steps, making this security solution suitable for environments where multiple users require controlled device access throughout the day.
