Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered with a 10mm lock head that fits even the thinnest modern laptops, the MicroSaver 2.0 employs Kensington's T-Bar Locking Technology for a secure connection to the Kensington Security Slot. The patented Hidden Pin Technology adds an anti-pick layer that distinguishes Kensington locks from generic cable locks, providing enhanced resistance to tampering.
The carbon steel cable maintains strength while offering flexibility, with a pivot-and-rotate ball joint that ensures optimal engagement with the device slot regardless of orientation. Independent testing verifies performance against industry standards for torque, pull resistance, lock lifecycle, corrosion, key strength, and environmental durability.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with the Kensington MicroSaver 2.0 lock?
The MicroSaver 2.0 is designed for any device equipped with a Kensington Security Slot, which is a standard security feature on most laptops, tablets, monitors, projectors, and other portable electronics from major manufacturers. The 10mm lock head accommodates even the thinnest modern ultrabooks and devices with minimal clearance around their security slots.
How does the self-coiling cable work and what are its dimensions?
The carbon steel cable can extend to its full 6-foot (1.83-meter) length when you need to secure a device to a fixed anchor point, then retract down to approximately 3 inches for compact storage. This self-coiling design eliminates cable tangles and makes the lock highly portable without requiring separate cable management.
What security features distinguish Kensington's Hidden Pin Technology?
Hidden Pin Technology is a patented Kensington innovation that incorporates anti-pick mechanisms within the lock cylinder. This makes the MicroSaver 2.0 more resistant to picking attempts compared to basic cable locks, providing an additional layer of security against skilled tampering in environments where devices might be unattended for extended periods.
Is this lock suitable for government or educational procurement?
Yes, the MicroSaver 2.0 is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, which means it meets the requirements for U.S. federal government purchasing and many state, local, and educational institution procurement programs. This compliance ensures the lock can be used in contracts that require TAA-certified products.
How durable is the carbon steel construction?
The carbon steel cable and lock components have undergone independent testing against industry standards for durability. Tests include torque resistance, pull strength, lock lifecycle (number of locking/unlocking cycles), corrosion resistance, key strength, and environmental conditions. This verified durability makes the lock suitable for long-term deployment in institutional settings.
What are the advantages of a keyed lock versus a combination lock?
Keyed operation simplifies management in organizational environments where multiple users need access. Administrators can maintain control through key distribution rather than sharing combination codes, which can be more easily disseminated or forgotten. Keyed locks also typically offer more robust mechanical construction than combination mechanisms at this price point.
