Supporting Heavy Virtual Dynamics Power Cords

Hi Folks,
As much as I like the Power Cords from Virtual Dynamics, the weight and loose fitting female end of the cables does present a bit of a problem. Currently I put a sponge ball between the rack shelf and the power cord near the connection to the device. In essence one for the CPD, one for AMP and one for the PRE. Just wondered how some of you are compensating for power cords that do not fit snug into the back of devices. Other than that the cables are great (using Masters LE 2.0 Power Cords).

Thanks for the tips so far folks. Some very good ideas. Perhaps a combination of a few tips will work.

A couple of other folks have e-mailed me their suggestions and like I said earlier it will be a combination of ideas. I like the idea of wrapping some quality electrical tape around the IEC. This will make the connection a lot tighter. Bending the cords is also important as this decreases the weight in specific areas. I also believe the IEC end of the cable needs to be elevated. I may look for some matching (color) foam pipe insulation from my local hardware store. I am thinking of cutting a section that would run underneath the PC from the back of the device to the edge of the rack. The last thing I need is a damaged receptacle on expensive piece of equipment.
