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?

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. 

But has the sponge been cryogenically treated?  Inquiring minds want to know!

1.  Sounds like the socket in your DAC is a bit oversized.

2.  I would not want tape of something else rigged into my connector to make it fit.  Might as well just duck tape it in place.

3.  Your DAC does not need a huge power cord like an amp.
