@rfprice I tried to post a current Audiogon ad but was blocked. ??? Do a search for, SONORE Outlet Cover , on Audiogon’s main page. The price may be worth the trouble of your time trying something else to support your cable(s).

@whart , Thanks for the kind words. . I’m pretty sure I could improve the product if I were to build another one. I mean I only spent about 30 minutes making it. If I built another one I might modify the plug support cup slightly with a heat gun...

The easiest thing would be drill a wall anchor above the outlet and secure with a zip tie but that might not look very neat. @rfprice If you use that method,... I would recommend you use what is could a Plastic Toggler for the wall anchor...

@rfprice I first cut the coupling down from 1-1/2" to 1-1/8". Reason for making it shorter is for plugging the plug in, but more importantly, unplugging the plug from the receptacle. Therein not pulling on the cord to help with unplugging it.. I...

"Hospital grade" plugs are a large part about hard to unplug. they are hard to plug in and I don’t think they will sag. The only difference between the Hubbell HBL 5362, 20A, Extra Heavy Duty outlet and a Hubbell 20 amp extra heavy duty hospita...
