Is there a way to lock the cord on the 1600 T2 power supply? It's a super heavy cord with the sideways (not like most IEC cords) contacts. It fits rather loosely. A locking cord would be handy, unless I'm missing something.

    What about wrapping some electrical tape around it, to help make it fit more securely in the plugin. Another option is to zip tie the cable to the case. Don't cause any physical damage to PSU (could void the warranty) to create a new screw hole to mount zip ties like these.

    What you ideally want is a locking C19 to C20 cord or extension that clamps onto the PSUs AC input terminals and won't easily come loose.

    4 or 5 wraps of Black Electrical Tape will work wonders.
