• Tip tether prevents loss and stores unused tips on the cable head.

What security features does the cable and lock provide?

The cable is made from carbon steel and is sheathed in protective plastic to resist cutting and abrasion while protecting surfaces. The lock head uses a 4-digit resettable combination that offers 10,000 possible codes, allowing you to change or personalize the combination as needed. Kensington tests its locks for strength and endurance to meet industry expectations for mechanical resilience.

The cable length allows flexible anchoring options in offices, public spaces, or at home. The resettable code and tip tether make it simple to adapt the lock to new devices as needed.
