    Yes, it was intended for an optional lock (such as Kensington's 
Apple Security System) identical to the same port on the back of 
the Apple IIGS and Macintosh.

    On a note of interest, it's likely this port would have doubled 
as an exit point for an RJ-11 cable, or even a mount for a rear
panel that attached to the internal modem option. No internal
modem was ever released for the IIc Plus so its sole purpose
is as a lock connector today.
