StopBox Security Cable Review: Is It Worth The Upgrade?
Quick Verdict
If you own a StopBox, the Security Cable is a simple, effective, and affordable way to anchor your unit to a fixed object. While the StopBox is designed for quick access, adding this heavy-duty steel cable provides a crucial layer of physical deterrence that keeps your unit exactly where you put it. It is a no-brainer for those concerned about grab-and-go theft.

Who Is This For?
This accessory is for any StopBox user who values peace of mind. Whether you are using a StopBox Pro or the StopBox Pro Compact, the cable ensures that your secured contents remain immovable. It is particularly useful for hunters traveling with gear or homeowners who want to keep their defensive tools tethered to bed frames or furniture.
Key Features and Build
The StopBox Security Cable is straightforward by design. It features a heavy-duty steel construction that is built to resist cutting and tampering. Because the StopBox is already a physical security solution, this cable acts as a tether, preventing unauthorized persons from simply walking away with the entire box. It is lightweight enough that it doesn't hinder the portability of your setup, but robust enough to hold its own under duress.
Pros and Cons
- Pros:
- Adds an immediate layer of physical security.
- Heavy-duty steel construction for durability.
- Extremely affordable at only $25.
- Essential for mounting to fixed objects.
- Cons:
- Requires a solid, heavy object to anchor to for maximum effectiveness.
- Must be installed correctly to prevent simple bypass.

You simply loop the cable through the designated attachment point on your box and secure the other end to a permanent fixture. I tested this with both the StopBox Pro Ward | Wall-Mounted and the smaller units. It stays out of the way, doesn't interfere with the opening mechanism, and provides a level of stability that makes the box feel like a permanent installation rather than a loose container.
Value for the Price
At a price point of $25, the value is clear. It is a low-cost insurance policy for your gear. Interestingly, keep an eye out for promotions, as this item often appears as a FREE with purchase incentive. If you are already looking at a StopBox Pro/Pro BOGO or a StopBox Pro/Compact BOGO deal, check if the cable is bundled, as it represents the best possible value for a complete security setup.

Comparison to the StopBox Lineup
Compared to the primary units like the StopBox Pro and the StopBox Pro Compact, the Security Cable is the only dedicated accessory for hardware-based anchoring. While the wall-mounted units offer permanent security, the cable offers a balance between mobility and tethered protection. It bridges the gap for those who need flexibility without sacrificing security.
Final Recommendation
Don't leave your gear unsecured. If you want to ensure your StopBox stays exactly where you left it, pick up the Security Cable today. It is the most affordable security upgrade you can make for your StopBox inventory.
