Abstract:
1. An apparatus for securing a computing device to a location, comprising: a network communication cable having a cut-resistant casing; a first locking mechanism provided at a first end of the network communication cable; and a second locking mechanism provided at a second end of the network communication cable, wherein the network communication cable provides a data communication link with a data network, the first locking mechanism is capable of locking the network communication cable to a structure at the location, and the second locking mechanism is capable of locking the network communication cable to the computing device; a first connector at the first end of network communication cable; and a second connector at the second end of the network communication cable, wherein the first locking mechanism is capable of being secured to the first connector and the second locking mechanism is capable of being secured to the second connector, and wherein the first locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism are locking sheaths that are slidable under a depressible portion of the first connector and the second connector such that when the locking sheath is under the depressible portion of the first connector and the second connector, the depressible portion is no longer depressible to release the first connector and the second connector.
