Abstract
A security device protects information handling systems from theft with a reduced footprint at the information handling system by interfacing a key receptacle with a lock hook through a flexible member, such as a coaxial cable. Rotation at the key receptacle by a key translates through the flexible member to the lock hook so that the lock hook rotates to a locked position in a lock body integrated with the information handling system chassis. The flexible member avoids or reduces leverage placed on the lock body through the security device.
