Basic question: Best tamper-resistant RJ45 housing / lock at both ends (Unifi AC Pro AP at device end)?

I visited one of my offices after a while, and I noticed that in their infinite wisdom, after apparently getting complaints about poor reception in there, the IT contractors had stuck WAPs in the meeting rooms...

...plugged into the network jacks in the meeting rooms.

We're not expecting super spies in, but it would e.g. be fairly trivial for someone reasonably clued in sitting in said room to say "oh I'll just hook up my laptop there instead of asking for wifi".

...We'll also gloss over the bit where I checked the patch connections and found every other free socket in those socket groups patched into the switches...

After I Had Words with the contractors, they said they could Krazy Glue the network cable in place. I get that there isn't a good place to put them in near the meeting rooms that is staff-only within reasonable reach of a network socket, but I feel there has to be a better way.

Any suggestions?
