I was used to a little thicker cables and this one is rather thin. Well you still need pliers to cut it (although I have not tried it!) So it should do the trick. It is very easy to handle, also easy to choose the combination. As against it is very short! You really need to be near the edge of the desk or the attachment point (no more than 50 cm). One can earn a little by pulling on it but good if you get to 70cm it is the end of the world. Finally it seems more adapted to protect a screen or device rather than a mobile computer that would be in the middle of the office.
