Are the cables protected inside the mounting, or are they exposed for people can cut them?

The mounting bracket has a notch where the cables can be exposed or if you drill a hole using the template then the cables will be covered by the mounting bracket

It does hide the cables I believe my husband was able to get 6 cables in it with a little work. We do like the piece.

With an allen wrench that they provide. You unplug the cable and take them out. I bought the covers also and that protects them.

I wouldn't recommend it. It is a plastic that would probably crack. They have cable covers that would suit your need./cb

In rhe middle there is a large passthru for the computer area there is some perferations in the cardboard panels....cuts with a utility knife easily. I have cut both upper side shelve areas as well for other devices.

Yes it can be removed easily. The ends of the cables will be exposed when unit is removed, because they plug into the back of unit. The molded plugs are water tight and shouldn't be a problem. You can always wrap with a plastic bag and rubber bands if you want extra security from the elements.

The cables are able to be cut to length. I used cable cutters and had no problem. All the cables were plenty long.

You could run a very thin cable though the holes. I've thought about this myself, and wondered how would I keep the cable from coming back through? Make a loop then clamp maybe? I suppose you could drill the holes bigger or add holes with a heavy duty drill and bit, but I personally would not tamper with a high quality safe like this.

Sorry, but that would not really work. The holes are too small and someone could easily cut the cable or chain. This unit is built to be attached to a wall.

They are not protected but all parts are replaceable at radio shack. It tells you in the instructions to only do the experiments in the order they tell you to to protect the components from burn out. Our 10 year old has had a lot of fun with it!

It makes no difference how you install it but if you install it so the cables are dropped from above make sure the electrical is on top too, if not the cables will have a kink\bend because as you can see the edge of the box will cut it to it.

It is unshielded. Pretty good cable though....double jacketed. We have not had any problems with it.

There are a few holes on the back used for bolting it to the wall, you may be able to use those holes to route your security cable.

Yup. People can cut through cable locks with plain old wire cutters if they had enough time.

I was able to hide three (1 cable size and 2 double sided wires) but very tight. It depends on the thickness of the cables. If cables are the thickness of a Time Warner cable 3 but if they are regular for i.e. lamp double sided type you might hide 4 or if speaker wires thickness maybe up to 6. Hope this helps

You would have to cut the cable out. There are no covers of any sort that you could remove.

There are two areas that have enough room to put cables through. One is on one of the lower shelves (under where the monitor would go) and the other is on the lower right back wall area for the power cables, etc. Seems to work fine for me.
