Protect Your Notebook With the Targus Cut-Resistant DEFCON Armor Lock

July 26, 2006 – Notebook computers are stolen at an alarming rate of one every two minutes, making notebook theft the third most prevalent computer crime in the nation. The cut-resistant DEFCON® CL Armor Combo Cable Lock from Targus Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of notebook cases and accessories, offers a strong and effective theft deterrent for corporate users, students and consumers at an affordable price.

Faced with financial capital losses of $130 million in 2005* due to computer theft, many corporations are requiring employee notebook computers to be physically locked to a stationary object at all times, whether in the office, a hotel room, a conference room or even in a car, so no one can walk away with them.

The DEFCON CL Armor Combo Cable Lock (Model #ASP10US) incorporates extreme cut-resistant steel-on-steel cable construction that attaches to any notebook computer, desktop monitor or projector with a lock slot. The lock’s steel cable is covered by steel ringlets to prevent the cable from being cut with cable-cutters, making it one of the most durable locks on the market. In fact, the steel ringlets are so strong that attempts to cut the cable typically result in damage to the cutters.

Offering the added convenience and safety of key-less security, the Armor Lock allows each user to determine their own four-digit combination that can be reset as needed. The DEFCON CL Armor Combo Cable Lock is 6.5 feet long, fits any standard lock slot and comes with a limited one year warranty. MSRP is $54.99.
