Abstract: A port control apparatus for restricting access to ports of an electronic device is disclosed. The port control apparatus comprises a housing constructed to lockingly attach to an exterior surface of the device to form an enclosure that houses the ports. Formed in the housing is at least one aperture each dimensioned to prevent passage of a connector adapted to mate with an associated port while permitting passage of cable bodies integral with any connector mated with an associated port.
