The "DT" variant adds a bundled cable for the rear wheel; the cable itself is not separately Sold Secure rated. The D-lock shackle rating (Diamond) is what your insurer cares about. Note the Amazon listing title says "Sold Secure Gold"; our verified rating from soldsecure.com's own product page is Diamond, which is what we report.
