Lindy lets loose another locking HDMI cable

by Darren Murph posted Mar 16th 2009 at 8:10AM

Locking HDMI cables -- ever heard of 'em? Yeah, they're all the rage in the home theater market right now, and given that Lindy has yet to come out with one of its own, well, it definitely had to remedy that. To be fair, the outfit's new Premium Gold HDMI 1.3b Cat 2 Cables don't actually posses the innate ability to clip in, but Lindy's quite clear that you can attach an optional Connector Lock for yank-proof peace of mind. The cables are available with 24K gold connectors and can be purchased in lengths ranging from 0.5 to 20 meters; check 'em right now across the pond for £49.99 ($70) and up.

Ottovonmo's locking HDMI cables solve a problem you likely don't have

For the vast majority of home theater aficionados who don't wake up grumbling about how their collection of HDMI connectors have somehow wiggled free from their sockets overnight, we'd probably stick to the cables you're currently using. For folks living in Earthquake-prone territories or with children who just love to snatch, however, Ottovonmo's locking HDMI cables could be just the thing you've been dreaming of. As the title implies, each cable has a locking mechanism that requires an intentional movement on your part in order to disengage it. Based on ProVideo Coalition's impressions, it actually worked well in testing -- but then again, we wouldn't expect anything less for $59.95 (three-foot version) and way, way up.
