Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy

I’m having trouble posting a photo so I’ll just describe my diy cable support:

it’s a floor-mounted piece of plywood measuring 3“ wide x 3/4 “ thick with holes cut at the desired height and diameter to support the cable, with a side cutout to slide the cable sideways into the support. 

New wall receptacle, hospital grade if possible. Even if not hospital grade, a brand new one would probably be more snug.

A quality power strip is also an option/addition to new receptacle

Well, I wussed out and bought the Sonore. The discount made it worthwhile. I also bought and installed the RACO leveling plate. Wow, my plugs have never had it so good. (I tried to post a photo but I don’t see how to do it. The ’gon link asks for a URL.)

I may still experiment with making my own, for fun and for future applications. There are actually a few outlets around the house that could benefit from this type of plug support. I’m surprised that these types of holders aren’t more common. It seems like something you would find amid the vast array of cable management accessories.

$50.00 is not that bad of a price. It’s not like it’s a mass produced item. Sure beats paying $80.00.

heh-heh, actually, I did buy the two-cup plate. Seemed like if I was going to go half way, might as well go all the way.
