Laptop Security Cable Lock STARTECH ACCESSORIES UNIVMK25-LAPTOP-LOCK 6.6 ft Master keyed, cut-resistant

The STARTECH ACCESSORIES UNIVMK25-LAPTOP-LOCK is a cable security solution designed to physically secure laptops and other portable devices. It features a 6.6 ft (approximately 2.0 m) cut-resistant cable and a master-keyed lock mechanism that allows centralized key control across multiple locks. The design fits devices with standard compatible lock slots and is intended for use in environments where visible, reliable theft deterrence is required.

Advantages

The cut-resistant braided steel cable provides extended reach and a high level of mechanical resistance to common tampering methods while remaining flexible for routing around immovable objects. The master-keyed lock system enables authorized personnel to use a single control key for multiple locks, simplifying key management in offices, schools, and retail environments. The lock head is compatible with standard laptop lock slots and docks, offering straightforward installation without tools.

Suitable for

• Securing laptops and ultrabooks with compatible lock slots
• Protecting docking stations, thin clients and point-of-sale devices
• Use in offices, classrooms and libraries to deter opportunistic theft
• Retail displays, trade shows and public access areas requiring centralized key control

Key specifications

How to use

Wrap the cable around a fixed, immovable anchor such as a desk leg or permanent fixture, then insert the lock head into the device’s security slot and rotate the key to lock. Verify that the lock is fully engaged and that the cable is routed to minimize slack. To unlock, insert the appropriate key and turn to release; use the master control key only if authorized. Regularly inspect the cable and lock head for signs of wear or damage.

Usage recommendations

For optimal security, install the cable on a permanent anchor and avoid leaving slack that could allow devices to be lifted. Use the master-key control only under secure key-management policies. Inspect the cable periodically and replace it if any significant fraying or damage is detected. This lock is a physical deterrent and should be used as part of a layered security approach that includes software protections and access control.
