ABSTRACT:
An all-in-one network communication cable and security cable apparatus for securing computing devices is provided. The all-in-one cable combines the security aspects of a steel or other cut-proof cable with a network communication cable and provides a locking mechanism that only permits the authorized user to disconnect the all-in-one cable from the computing device and the structure mounted network communication connection jack. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a standard RJ45 Ethernet Cable is provided with a cut-proof casing and a slidable locking sheath that is capable of being slid under the depressible lever of the RJ45 connector. This locking mechanism includes a lock that may be set by the user so that the locking mechanism is not removable without the proper key or combination. The slidable locking sheath, when engaged, does not allow the lever of the RJ45 connector to be depressed.
