Product Features
Technical Overview
This security cable lock combines durable materials with intelligent engineering to create a reliable theft deterrent. The 4.4mm thick steel cable core provides cut resistance, while the vinyl coating protects surfaces from scratches and adds weather resistance for occasional transport use. The zinc alloy lock body houses a precision keyed mechanism that engages securely with the interchangeable lock tips, which are specifically shaped to match the internal contours of K-Slot, Nano, and Wedge security receptacles.
The lock's mechanical design includes a spring-loaded push button that extends the locking pin when pressed, automatically retracting when the key is turned to unlock. This eliminates the need to manually align small components during installation. The cable terminates in a reinforced loop that accepts standard anchor points, including StarTech.com's LTANCHOR and LTANCHORL security anchors (sold separately) for permanent mounting to desks, counters, or kiosk furniture.

Deployment / Use Cases
This universal cable lock serves multiple security roles across business, education, and retail environments.

Educational institutions benefit from the lock's compatibility with classroom laptops, computer lab monitors, and portable projectors.

FAQ

This universal compatibility ensures the lock can secure equipment across multiple generations and brands.
How long is the security cable and what is it made from?
The security cable measures 6.6 feet (2.01 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach to secure equipment while allowing reasonable movement. It consists of a 4.4mm thick steel core for cut resistance, covered with a protective vinyl coating that prevents scratching on device surfaces and adds durability. The cable has been tested to withstand up to 88 pounds of pulling force.
How many keys are included with the lock?
The package includes two identical keys, providing a spare for backup access or enabling multiple authorized users. This dual-key system is particularly useful in shared environments like offices, classrooms, or retail settings where equipment may need to be accessed by different personnel while maintaining security protocols.
What types of equipment can I secure with this cable lock?
This universal cable lock is designed to secure a wide range of IT equipment including notebooks/laptops, computer monitors, docking stations, projectors, and external drive enclosures. The interchangeable tips accommodate different security slot types across these devices, making it a versatile solution for protecting valuable electronics in various environments.
Can I permanently mount this cable lock to furniture or fixtures?
Yes, the cable terminates in a reinforced loop that accepts standard security anchors. While the lock itself is portable, you can use it with StarTech.com's LTANCHOR or LTANCHORL security anchors (sold separately) to create a permanent mounting point on desks, counters, kiosks, or other furniture. This allows you to secure equipment while maintaining the flexibility to unlock and relocate devices as needed.
