About this deal
Below is a breakdown of what sets our locks apart from the rest, providing you with the industry-leading solutions you've come to expect from the pioneer in physical device protection. I think the little nub that permanently seats into the Kensington slot is pure genius (yes it is removable, but not while the lock is on it, and you just install it once and you can get it as perfect and tight as you want to then). but, having done so, I feel good that I made a really good choice on this one, so I wrote this to help other folks clarify issues prior to purchasing.
DiamondEye Optical Tracking - Movement detection technology provides smooth, precise cursor control.Say hello to our laptop cable locks, the convenient and effective physical security solution you can get for your computer. Reduces Heat Build-Up - by providing constant airflow, which reduces battery strain and improves your laptop's operating efficiency. Adding the Blade to your laptop or tablet will also improve airflow and ventilation to help maintain optimal device operating temperature. With a numerical lock, this lock is easy to install and is a simple step to protect your computer against criminals.
then you take the teeny allen wrenchthey give you and you stick it into the matching hole in the top of the nub and turn clockwise. I thought it would look to big, but looking at the 5mm cable, this doesn't seem garish so I would probably be happy with the 10mm choice as well. Featuring a unique lock engagement, creating a strong and reliable connection between the lock head and slot, this 5mm keyring system with anti-pick technology is a robust custom keying solution.Common 5mm keying system, patented Hidden Pin™ technology, and carbon steel cable provide strong security against picking and theft attempts.
of course, you don't have to worry about people trying the lock hoping they'll get it or feel like a challenge.
The cable on the other end of the lock is then secured or looped round a heavy object to secure the laptop and prevent it from being stolen. That's why our innovative security solutions are tough, easy to use and compatible with 99% of laptops, projectors, printers and monitors with security lock slots. Would deter and stop an "honest" thief but the cable wouldn't last long against a sustained attack from a more determined one. The compact (10mm diameter) lock head has been designed to meet the requirements of ultra-thin devices that use the Kensington Nano Security Slot™. For physical device security that includes our innovative line of locks; from data protection such as biometric fingerprints readers to commercial-grade stands, frames and cabinets, Kensington security solutions are designed and engineered to set the standards for strength, security and reliability.
