Abstract

A locator for a cable lock includes a lock body part and a locator, wherein the lock body part is a portion of the cable lock. There are beneficial effects due to the solution that the locator can be recycled and reused. A new disposable RFID component can be assembled with a recyclable locator with a relatively high cost from an unlocked cable lock, so as to form a new cable lock to maintain the locating function with increasing cost as less as possible.
