PRODUCT OVERVIEW
MC-NK2 overview
Quick answer
MC-NK2 is a single-use, fixed-type cable seal for containers, trucks and doors. It uses 1.8 mm (0.07 in) braided aeronautic steel-wire rope, and the cable length is made to your requirement. The lock head is galvanized low-carbon steel coated in ABS, hexagonal for a larger marking area; the catalogue gives the head size as 12 × 22 mm. Push the cable end into the head to lock it at a fixed loop size. The catalogue lists 150 kgf tensile; remove with a cable cutter. MOQ is 1,000 pieces, 1,000 per carton.
How it locks
The free end of the cable is pushed into the head, where it is gripped permanently. The loop cannot be adjusted or reopened without cutting.
Not suitable when
- you need to tighten the loop after closing – choose the pull-tight MC-K2;
- the closure holes are smaller than about 2 mm;
- a documented security classification is required – request model-specific test evidence first.
Compared with similar models
- MC-K – same cable diameter and fixed lock, with a 230 mm standard cable length.
- MC-K2 – pull-tight version with a 300 mm standard cable and above 250 kgf catalogue tensile.

DIMENSION REFERENCE

Check the original dimension drawing and your closure openings before ordering.
APPLICATION CHECK
Where to use MC-NK2
Catalogue-listed uses: ISO containers, trucks and doors. Because the cable length is made to order, MC-NK2 suits closures that need a specific loop: wide door handles, double hasps or equipment cabinets. Measure the distance between closure points before ordering. Images are catalogue product views and do not establish a transport security classification.
Thread through the zipper pull and adjacent anchor eyelet, then lock and record the identifier. Check both openings, loop clearance and seal engagement on a sample.
