About the USB-C cable lock

To reduce the possibility of ‘USB-C’ cables losing contact or becoming loose overtime, a metal locking mechanism was designed. This locking mechanism will keep the ‘USB-C’ cable in place. A rigid lock will increase the contact between the cable and the port, ensuring increased stability during data transfer.

About supported ports

The following two ports (reference A) on both the Hub Core and the Hub Pro can support the USB-C cable lock. All other ports do not support the locking mechanism.

All supported ports follow the same general procedure.

Tip: Each supported ‘USB-C’ port has a screw hole next to it.
