Apparatus and system for securing device cables and tracking devices

An apparatus for securing device cables, comprising:

• a first locking plate defining a first inner surface, wherein the first locking plate includes:
• a first indent;
• a first channel connected to the first indent;
• a second channel connected to the first indent, wherein the second channel is separated from the first channel by the first indent;
• a second indent;
• and
• a third channel connected to the second indent;
• a second locking plate configured to be coupled with the first locking plate, the second locking plate defining an outer surface and a second inner surface configured to be arranged adjacent the first inner surface of the first locking plate when the second locking plate is coupled with the first locking plate, wherein the second locking plate defines a chamber extending from the outer surface of the second locking plate, wherein the chamber is configured to receive a tracking device therein, wherein the tracking device is configured to identify a location of a device to which the first locking plate and the second locking plate are secured;
• and
• a security cable including a first stop member and a second stop member extending therefrom, wherein the first stop member is disposed in the first indent when the second locking plate is coupled with the first locking plate, and wherein the second stop member is disposed in the second indent when the second locking plate is coupled with the first locking plate to fixedly secure the security cable to the first locking plate and the second locking plate,
• wherein the security cable defines a loop portion extending from the first locking plate and the second locking plate when the security cable is fixedly secured to the first locking plate and the second locking plate.

An apparatus for tracking a location of a device, comprising:

• a first locking plate defining a first inner surface, wherein the first locking plate includes:
• a first indent;
• a first channel connected to the first indent;
• a second indent;
• and
• a second channel connected to the second indent;
• a second locking plate configured to be coupled with the first locking plate, the second locking plate defining an outer surface and a second inner surface configured to be arranged adjacent the first inner surface of the first locking plate when the second locking plate is coupled with the first locking plate, wherein the second locking plate defines a chamber extending from the outer surface of the second locking plate, wherein the chamber is configured to receive a tracking device therein, wherein the tracking device is configured to identify a location of a device to which the first locking plate and the second locking plate are secured;
• and
• a security cable including a first stop member and a second stop member extending therefrom, wherein the first stop member is disposed in the first indent when the second locking plate is coupled with the first locking plate, and wherein the second stop member is disposed in the second indent when the second locking plate is coupled with the first locking plate to fixedly secure the security cable to the first locking plate and the second locking plate,
• wherein the security cable defines a loop portion extending from the first locking plate and the second locking plate when the security cable is fixedly secured to the first locking plate and the second locking plate, wherein the loop portion is configured to be coupled with the device to track the location of the device.
