If your device has a headphone jack, it can have a lock slot thanks to this handy adapter.
Laptop locks are an excellent way to protect a device if you ever plan to leave it outside, but even the best Windows laptops don't all have lock slots these days. They say necessity is the mother of invention, and that appears to be the case here. With many laptops and devices lacking lock slots but having headphone jacks (in many cases), Multplx created the Anchor adapter that converts any headphone jack into a lock slot.
Multplx reached out to me about the Anchor adapter recently and sent me one as part of an bundle with a security lock cable to test out. I've run it through its paces, dangled an old laptop from its headphone jack (
), and tested it out on an old phone as well.
