Which physical security device is specifically designed to fit into the small, reinforced security slot on most business laptops so the computer can be tethered to a fixed object and deter opportunistic theft in a shared workspace?
A Kensington cable lock, which fits into the standardized Kensington Security Slot (or K-slot), is designed for this purpose. It uses a cable to tether the laptop to an immovable object, deterring physical theft. A privacy screen filter prevents others from viewing the screen from an angle but does not secure the device itself. An RJ-45 loopback plug is a diagnostic tool used for testing network ports. A port replicator or docking station primarily expands a laptop's connectivity options and does not inherently provide an anti-theft tether.
