No, you need to also buy a Samtec HDMI lead which has the latching mechanism included. We have to use 26 HDMI leads within a product we have developed. The ends of the leads are not readily accessible in sevice so had to have some kind of locking mechanism for security - the equipment moves in operation. Space would not allow us to use DVI with jacks. We also looked at SATA and firewire cables but settled on HDMI in the end. The cables are used for multiple 2.5Gbps and slower control links between different parts of an equipment. They have performed well with no problems.
