        Is this more to keep people from accidentally thinking the adapters came out of their bag when they pack up? A box around it with your company logo on it will make it clear.

          We used to have something like this at the highschool I worked at for dvi-vga adapters. It was like a wire cage that had a tamper-resistant screw to hold it together.

            Yes that is exactly the idea.

              Just tried to google up a link for you. but everything comes back electrical.

              What you want to look at is the plastic cable raceway stuff. They typically have some smaller junction boxes also.

              Depending on the size of your HDMI cable that plugs into that adapter, a single gang box may be the right size.

              Edit: here

                All of these are massive compared to the lightning adapter.

                @JaredBusch the HDMI is a standard HDMI cable that connects.

                The box needs to be at most 2 inches wide and 1 inch tall. And then of course some method to easily swap the lightning adapter if it does fail.

                  I think I found something that will work.

                  Putting two of these together

                  Would likely do the trick.

                  Install the one end on the cable side of the lightning adapter, and then the other on the HDMI cable.

                    Of course with the release tab, it could still be stolen.

                    But nothing will prevent theft. We just have to try to deter it.

                      Maybe something like this?

                      For the wire, you may have to 'fabricate' your own.

                        Well I found something else which might work too...

                        Which while not preventing theft, could be used...
