Just about any connector can be converted into a locking and secure connector, such as the following CAT6 locking connector that is used significantly in live broadcast applications:

As for HDMI, it has incredibly few uses into terms of professional production (outside of connecting monitors) setups, but still can be made secure, as seen here:

- rkangel 8y agoInteresting. For live audio work I've usually encountered Ethercon (basically XLR with a CAT6 connector in the middle): https://www.neutrik.com/en/neutrik/products/ethercon-rj45-connectors/ethercon-chassis-connectors/cat6-sub-a-sub https://www.neutrik.com/en/neutrik/products/ethercon-rj45-co...
- yardie 8y agoI saw one of these for the first time just last week. Patching a laptop into a DMX light controller.
- tonyarkles 8y agoEthercon really is a fantastic connector. I had a client who were working on industrial systems that lived in harsh environments, and recommended it to them. They ignored me on their first model, and used the connector quite successfully on rev 2 after they had a ridiculous number of field failures using normal Ethernet jacks. My wife does AV production work and loves them too. Plus, in a pinch, you can just use a regular old Walmart Ethernet cable. Really handy to have a fallback (unlike e.g. XLR, where you're trying to find a pro audio shop)
