TetherTies Adapter Cable Locks — Anti-Theft Steel Ties

TetherTies Pre-Assembled Adapter Ties are ready-to-use steel cable locks that secure adapters, dongles, and small tools to prevent loss and deter casual theft.

Small, easy to install and made in the USA, these pre-assembled adapter ties give workstations, meeting rooms, and shared equipment stations an affordable layer of protection. Constructed from nylon-coated stainless steel with a 110 lb break strength, the ties are built to withstand everyday handling while staying discreet. Each pack includes a crimping tool so you can fasten the tie permanently in seconds without extra parts or complex assembly.

How do TetherTies attach to adapters and dongles?

The design slips over or around virtually any small electronic accessory, then slides tight and is crimped to lock. No threading, knots, or additional hardware required—installation is finished in seconds with the included crimping tool. The flexible cable conforms to shapes for a secure fit.

• Pre-assembled loop that slips over connectors or through accessory holes
• Slide-to-tighten action before crimping for a snug fit
• Included crimping tool for permanent attachment in about 15 seconds
• Works with USB dongles, power bricks, small tools, and adapter blocks

Will these ties resist tampering or accidental loss?

TetherTies use tamper-resistant stainless steel cable and a robust crimp to discourage opportunistic theft and prevent accidental separation. The ties are rated with a 110 lb break strength, making casual snatch attempts or rough handling unlikely to succeed. They are not advertised as cut-proof security bolts but provide a meaningful deterrent in shared environments.

• 110 lb break strength to resist typical pull forces
• Nylon coating prevents scratching and improves grip on surfaces
• Crimp creates a secure, non-slip closure
• American-made stainless steel construction for durability

How long does installation take and what tools are needed?

Installation is designed to be fast and tool-light: each purchase includes a crimping tool so no additional equipment is required. With the tie already pre-assembled, you position the loop, tighten it by sliding the cable, then crimp the closure—most installs complete in 15 seconds or less.

• Comes with a crimping tool—no extra purchase necessary
• Pre-assembled cable saves assembly time
• Permanent installation option for shared or public equipment
• Quick setup ideal for IT racks, kiosks, and loaner stations

What devices and environments are best suited for TetherTies?

TetherTies are intended for small electronics and accessories where misplacement or casual theft is common—think dongles, power adapters, portable tools and peripherals in high-traffic areas. The minimalist profile keeps equipment usable while adding a reliable physical connection to desks, carts, or mounting points.

• USB and HDMI dongles, power adapters, small tools, and keys
• Office hot-desking, classroom equipment, IT loaner stations
• Kiosks, retail displays, event AV setups, and shared workspaces
• Anywhere a lightweight, cost-effective deterrent is needed

Who is this for? TetherTies are ideal for IT managers, facilities teams, educators, and small-business owners who need a practical, low-cost way to reduce replacement expenses and keep essential accessories accessible. They suit anyone who wants a fast, durable security option for small devices without bulky locks or complex installation.
