Many use either adhesive-mounted pads or metal brackets to fasten the computer and other equipment to a desk or tabletop. These devices are usually manufactured out of hardened steel. Some use special adhesives and others use bolts. Anchors and cables enable you to anchor devices to desks to tabletops. These products normally use high-strength adhesive pads.
Cables are probably the most common physical security devices and usually the cheapest.
They also tend to be the most flexible. Usually, steel cables are passed through metal rings that are attached to the equipment and a desk or table. Although cables prevent an individual from quickly walking away with a piece of equipment, they can be cut, although not with ordinary tools. The bottom plate adheres to the desk or table with over 7,000 lbs. of resistance. The top steel plate is secured to the base of the equipment.
