Supporting Heavy Virtual Dynamics Power Cords

I have a low rack ( no I am not an elderly woman ) so I use 2 large Porecelon Telephone Pole Insulators ( 8" high ) Works Great and looks good too..............

I have the same problem with Synergistic's Master Power Couplings. Very stiff, and heavy. My rack has a u-shape grill at the back-center, which I tie a dowel wrapped in wire-loom covering to. I then tie the power cord to the dowel. This works very well for me. Without doing something along these lines, there is trouble indeed.

Here's a retain clip that may work

This doesn't fit all types (round vs square) type male IEC plugs ... but I'm sure you can fudge something together

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

Thorman - I like thing about the old woman - LOL.

The VD cords do pose quite a bit of a problem. Firstly, they need to be pre-bent into shape so that the female end can roughly fit into the socket of the equipment. To secure the female connector, I use CD cases and folded paper sheets to support the connector. I know it's little unprofessional but that is the only way I can think of to prevent the connector from sliding off the socket. I have tried blu-tack at first but without any form of supports beneath it's virtually impossible to secure the connector to the socket of the equipment, not to mention the cord was actually pulling the whole preamp off the rack without the support!
