Heavy power cord

Don’t hesitate to improvise by making your own suspension device if needed. My cables are hidden from view behind a curtain. I ended up suspending several cables with 1” leather straps and heavy fishing line connected to the back side of the curtain rod. Completely seamless and inconspicuous. Took all of the stress off of the IEC connections. Good luck figuring out you solution!🍀

Based upon several ideas presented above I have decided that from now on all manufacturers of electronic components and power cord should incorporate a male “tab” on the IEC connection and power cord suppliers should have a corresponding female “tab” that locks on to the “tab” on the IEC. That would solve at least one part of the problem at the connection site. Cable elevators and other suspension devices will still be required by some who have heavy cords and need extra support but at least the cables will stay secured to the equipment. (Computer cables use locking connectors quite frequently). Comments?
