Targus ASP48USX DEFCON Key Lock Single

DEFCON Key Lock Single

The Targus DEFCON Key Lock is a physical security cable designed to deter theft of laptops, projectors and LCD monitors that feature a built-in security slot. A six foot galvanised steel cable loops through a fixed anchor point and locks into the device slot, visibly damaging the equipment if forced removal is attempted. Two identical keys are supplied so a spare is always available. No combination code needs to be remembered.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This lock suits anyone securing a single device in a shared office, classroom or hot-desk environment where a keyed solution is preferred over a combination dial. It is not for users whose equipment lacks a standard security slot, for teams needing to secure multiple devices with one master key, or for situations demanding a combination lock without physical keys.

Capacity and headroom

The six foot cable length provides enough reach to anchor a device to a desk leg or cable tray in typical workstation layouts. The galvanised steel construction resists casual cutting attempts, while the keyed mechanism eliminates the risk of a forgotten code. If the anchor point is further than the cable allows, or if a thicker cable diameter is required for higher-risk locations, this model will not meet those needs.
