Yes...assuming the encryption for the cable has NOT been cracked by the Chinese (or any other smart IP copier). Just like our cars can be stolen (hacked and started without the key, correct frequency and payload of the 'unlock' command and correct key oscillator freq), the cables can be copied, which has obviously been done..
