How to secure a large power cord to a piece of equipment?


I have a Triode Wire Labs Digital American power cord that doesn’t seem to fit tightly into my Border Patrol DAC. It wants to significantly sag & not maintain a good connection. Any suggestions?

I wrap with electrical tape, solves loose issue. The other problem with heavy power cords is I like ball bearing and/or spring footers on some equipment, the pc weight detrimental to free movement of footer, usually support with fishing line to ceiling in such a way to allow maximum free movement.

Amazing a person drops big cash and it doesn’t fit, obviously you’ve to spend considerably more to have that feature. Now Quick run to the window look at the garden where are you through the magic beans….. Not roasting anyone I love reading this S… develops my sense of humour.

Yep. Glad to hear so many solutions for this and as im reading im chuckling because all these solutions makes sense and ive tried some variation of. I love the tape idea. Makes perfect sense. I have gone the route of creating support via legos. I construct what kind of looks like tshaped risers out of them with a nook in the middle for the cord to sit. Theyve Been working great and they are all fully adjustable. I use them to get speaker wire up off the floor as well. 

Two turns of electrical tape & it’s nice & tight. I also cut a small wood block & put it under the connector for good measure.

Thanks everyone for your help! Nice to be a part of a forum that actually works.
