Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy

Does anyone have any diy advice on how to support heavy power plugs that sag from the wall outlet? I have Shunyata cords and I also have Shunyata's SR-Z1 outlet. However the power plugs still sag. Shunyata sells the Cable Cradle, which is the perfect fix, but I feel like there must be some diy alternative.

Sounds like a great idea.

If the floor doesn't hold the support you made, you would have bigger problems to worry about.

Best regards,

I installed my outlets with the ground at the top, which helps support the cable.

Thanks for this explanation. The connector housing is something I hadn't thought about and you're absolutely right. I might try this. Can you send a photo if possible?

Also consider this thread, where we cover how to strengthen the support an outlet has.

You got me thinking...

The possibilities of supporting from the floor are endless...

Here’s just one example:
