Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers

I noticed that the interconnects, power and speaker cables that are plugged into the powered speaker have constant vibration.  Is there any way to nullify or reduce that vibration? I was thinking about buying some form of rubber or foam pad and cut out holes for the cables to go. Then place it at the source of connection in an attempt to stop the vibrations from going down the cable.

" is that better or just different? "

I am not following the context here.  Are you referring to the change in angle?

Where does one obtain this putty?  And yes, the Audioengine A2+ are extremely well engineered. :) I think they're worth far more than they charge for them.

I had these on "risers" on the desk. Are you saying that if I suspend the cables on a stretched rubberband, it will absorb the vibration? I think I accomplish that.

Rubber bands do work they just break after awhile how do you get around that MC .

Blu tack or more likely the gray map putty should be available at a goodoffice supply. Amazon has multiple blu tack options available.

Ordered, should be here tomorrow.

Can you give me some insight on where to apply and how much?

Is this applied externally?  Such as on the screw hole from the outside, then insert the screw.  Or is it internal, put the putty behind the plate and insert the screw?
