Slim N17 2.0 Lock for Wedge Slots

The Kensington K60511WW Slim N17 2.0 is a portable keyed cable lock designed for wedge‑shaped security slots found on ultra‑thin notebooks. It uses a carbon‑steel cable and a plastic lock housing to secure the device to a fixed anchor point. The lock is aimed at professionals and students who need a lightweight theft deterrent when working in shared or public spaces. Its compact form factor makes it easy to carry in a laptop bag.

Upgrade from Basic Cable Loops

This model replaces simple loop‑style cables that rely on a separate padlock or combination mechanism. The integrated keyed cylinder removes the need to remember a code and speeds up locking and unlocking. The jump is worth it when you regularly move between desks and want a single‑handed operation without fumbling for a separate key fob. Users who already carry a dedicated key ring will find the workflow simpler.

Limited to Wedge‑Slot Devices

The lock only fits the narrow wedge‑shaped slot profile; it will not engage older rectangular Kensington slots or proprietary designs from other vendors. The 2.0 designation marks the current revision of this slim standard, but the physical interface has not changed since the 2024 introduction. Buyers with mixed‑fleet equipment should verify each device’s slot type before purchasing. No adapter is included for legacy slots.
