Heavy Power Cords

Sort of like the other mention of it... I'd add some layers of heat shrink, one at a time until the fitting was snug.

Of course, that's not helping the contacts get tighter but will help the cords from pulling loose.... also, I use plain old string to trace up the heavier cords to the rack itself... thereby taking the strain off the connection.

I used zip ties too. String is just cheaper and allows a bit more creative applications, eg., slings, supports, or just simple tie offs, rather than looping/stringing the nylon ties together... and it's less abrasive on the cord and rack, if things need to be slid about.

In fact I got pointed to this idea from past rigging exp. in the service. Another sure fire way is to tie off the cord just behind the connectors shrink wrap, and then run the line in a loop towards the face of the component and secure the 'loop to one of the front footers' or both in a triangle sort of affair, underneath the component so as to hide the string mo betta. Violin! ...and all just for pennies!
