Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: first and second supports mounted on a chassis, wherein a port is mounted on a side of the chassis and connected to electronics in the chassis, the first and second supports being mounted on the chassis side on opposing sides of the port; and a strap of a predetermined length with first and second ends of the length respectively connected to the first and second supports, wherein the strap defines a slot along a portion of its length and the slot holds a cable connected to a plug that matches the port, wherein a central portion of the strap is displaced when the strap's ends are connected to their respective supports, the displacement being due to the respective supports holding the respective ends of the strap at certain distances from the side of the chassis while at least the plug displaces the central portion of the strap further away from the side of the chassis, so that the central portion of the strap clamps the plug into engagement with the port, and wherein the strap includes an adjuster configured to adjust the length of the strap.
