Shared-workstation peripheral security

The StarTech Peripheral Cable Anchor Lock fixes keyboard and mouse cables to a desk or workstation surface so they cannot be removed without tools. It is intended for IT teams that manage hot-desking areas, library terminals or classroom PCs where peripherals regularly disappear.

Adhesive-mount reliability

A double-sided adhesive strip bonds the anchor to the furniture, creating a permanent attachment that resists daily tugging and cleaning. The lock mechanism stays engaged through continuous use without relying on mechanical screws that can loosen over time.

Compact cable organiser

The low-profile body adds no noticeable height to the desktop and accepts standard USB or PS/2 cables without adapters. A quick-start guide explains the one-time adhesive installation, after which the anchor remains in place for the life of the workstation.

Questions about this item

Does the adhesive strip leave residue or damage the desk after the anchor lock has been in place all day?

The included double-sided adhesive strip bonds the anchor securely; StarTech does not publish a residue or surface-damage rating for long-term attachment.

What must I already have on my keyboard or mouse cable for the lock to secure it?

The lock clamps around the existing cable, so the peripheral only needs a standard USB or PS/2 cord thick enough to fit the clamp — no special loop or slot is required.

Will the anchor lock fit around the thicker cables on my older mechanical keyboard and trackball?

The clamp accepts typical peripheral cable diameters; very thick braided or coiled cords on legacy keyboards may exceed the opening and prevent a secure fit.
