Power cable connection issue, plug slightly sags and disconnects


heavier Power cables tend to not fit very securely so if there is a slight connection angle they no longer carry the power.  How are you supposed to maintain a horizontal connection when they are so heavy???

Slight movement to a rack tends to cause the disconnection.

So I go back to the cheaper, much cheaper, much lighter and flexible power cord received with device and it fits really good.

This was covered not that long ago in another thread.  Solutions: wrapping various kinds of tape around the connector, suspending the cable with various kinds of thread or line, propping up the cable with various home-made contraptions--I remember one which was a cradle made out of Lego bricks.  It's a fact of life that there will slight variations in the standard: I've experienced both connectors that it was virtually impossible to get into the socket, and connectors that were loose.  The weight of many high-end PCs doesn't help!
