DISCUSSION
Security lock ports are used to physically lock Apple displays to a desk or other stationary object using some kind of cable locking system.
Apple generally uses four different types of security lock ports on their hardware products. They are as follows:
|
Port Type
|
Description
|
|
Large rectangular port
|
This security port is a rectangular port that measures approximately 6mm x 35mm at the opening.
|
|
Small rectangular port
|
This is a slightly smaller rectangular port. It measures approximately 6mm x 22mm at the opening.
|
|
1/4-inch Mini-slot port
|
This is the most recent security lock port. This port is a small, 3mm x 7mm, opening without latches of any kind. It uses a different type of security device than the previous security lock ports.
|
|
Cable Slotted port
|
This is a plastic loop on the bottom of the unit that is intended to have a security cable fed through it.
|
Use the following chart to determine which type of security device you need for your Apple display.
Note:
Generally, security lock ports are located on the back panels of most Apple displays or, in the case of the cable slotted port, on the bottom panels.
