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?
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.

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: LEGO Parts and Pieces: Black 2x4 Brick x50Design and build your own. |
My Daughter is come over tonight. I will have her, hopefully, post a couple of photos on the thread. FWIW, I like @whart idea of the Hockey Pucks. You could get creative and start with a puck laying flat for a base. Then two standing vertical One flat Two vertical And so on until you reached the desired height. For fine tuning you might have to double two horizontally for the base Even tvad ideas were good. If PVC pipe, say 3/4" or even 1", were used for the riser, the base could be a no thread PVC floor flange. I’m sure there a top PVC fitting that could serve as a cradle support.. And the top cradle fitting could be made adjustable for different heights. One thing about resting, supporting, from the floor it ain’t gonna give... Edit: The top cradle support could be a 1-1/2" Tee with a reduced sized leg. The top of the 1-1/2" tee would have half of it horizontal length cut away making a cradle to support the plug body or cable. . |
