    Abstract: An apparatus for securing a cable to a portable device equipped with a security slot defined within an outer wall. A first member is coupled to a second member with each member having at least one aperture defined within a body portion thereof. A locking member protrudes from a bottom edge of the first member and a pin protrudes from a bottom edge of the second member. The first and second members are movable from an unlocked position wherein the locking member is adapted for insertion into the security slot and engagement with the outer wall, to a locked position wherein the pin slidably abuts the locking member to secure the locking member within the security slot. When the first and second members are in the locked position, the aperture is aligned to allow for passage of the cable.
