What types of security slots does this laptop lock work with?
This universal laptop security cable works with three industry-standard security slot types: Noble Wedge®, K-Slot (also known as T-Bar), and Nano lock slots. The adjustable lock tip adapts to fit these different configurations, ensuring compatibility with laptops from major manufacturers including HP, Dell, and Microsoft. This 3-in-1 compatibility future-proofs your security investment as you refresh equipment over time.
How does the master key system work for this 25-pack?
Each individual lock in the 25-pack comes with its own unique key for standard operation. However, IT managers or designated key holders can request a master key from StarTech.com that will unlock any lock in the deployment. This master key option eliminates the need to manage separate keys for each secured device while maintaining the ability to use individual keys when preferred. The system simplifies administration for teams overseeing large numbers of secured assets.

This security cable system supports a wide range of office and laboratory equipment including notebooks, docking stations, monitors, printers, desktop computers, projectors, oscilloscopes, and other lab equipment. The universal compatibility and sturdy construction make it suitable for securing any device with an industry-standard security slot. For equipment lacking security slots, StarTech.com offers compatible anchor locks (sold separately) that work with this cable system.
What is the cable length and material construction?
The security cable measures 6.6 feet (2.01 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach for most workstation configurations.

TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this product meets the requirements for procurement by U.S. federal government agencies and other entities that must comply with trade agreement regulations.
