Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At **£48.95 ex‑VAT for 20 tethers**, this is the kind of no-drama add-on that actually pays for itself—especially in busy sites where people keep “misplacing” adapters, dongles, or small power/comm cables. If you’re outfitting comms racks, server rooms, or managed IT locations with lots of hot-swap-ish peripherals, the adjustable steel tether is a sensible way to reduce theft and avoid that constant “where’s the USB/adapter that goes with it?” problem. StarTech is generally reliable in this category, and the universal angle is helpful when your hardware mix isn’t consistent.

I’d still be a bit picky about where it fits. If your setup regularly needs users to swap adapters frequently (without maintenance oversight), a tether can get in the way and annoy staff—especially if clearance is tight or the attachments aren’t ideal for your specific dongle/adapter shapes. Also, if the items you’re tethering are already hard to remove (custom mounts, integrated cabling, secured bays), you may not get much benefit versus simpler asset labelling or cabinet-level security. **Who should buy it:** IT teams, MSPs, and data/comm installers managing multiple sites who want low-cost physical loss prevention. **Who shouldn’t:** environments where rapid frequent swapping is routine and you can’t guarantee people won’t fight with the cable routing.
