Cable droop


Are there any solutions for keeping heavy cables/connectors from drooping while connected to a piece of gear?

My nice Power Cables tend to droop or drop where plugged into my Inakustik 3500p conditioner.  I don't hear a difference, but it bugs me.
If I wiggle a component the power cord tends to do this at the conditioner (male plug) end.  I don't have much issue at the component end.  My unit is on a shelf, extending to  the rear of my 18" shelving, I can not put something under it.
I am thinking of an elastic (thick rubber band? which goes around the PC end and the flap on my conditioner.  I realize many components don't have this flap / cover like the Inakustik. Or maybe a velcro band...
Anyone else tried this?  Audience AU 24SX PC's.

I use hangers on the wall, or buy longer cables.

I really never though of hanging from the wall, kinda like a gun rack..
Gears are grinding now. Easier to clean, under and around. If mounted to a stud with isolators, we're talking looking real cool, maybe a led line light on the top/bottom rung..

@oldhvymec, my cables are behind my rack etc, so really aren’t seen. However, hanging them creatively would be very cool if visible. Works great for me.
Power amps are usually placed at the bottom of the equipment rack.
Floor standing speakers, have their binding post at the bottom.
What droop?
If you have such a problem, on the Amp side, you may place a plate (Aluminum or wood), drill a hole at the edge (Prominent from back adje) 
and connect a short rope around the cable and that hole.
I use #0 AWG cables and they are ok.
A 3 m long #0 AWG weights 1.85 kg. and on each channel there are two.
The cable is flexible and the partial weight is not an issue.
