Preventing Computer Connections from pulling loose

[GDBUSCH111]

I am having an issue with some of my computer component cables pulling out / loosen when I transport my equipment. Can someone suggest how to either wax (or other type of protectant) onto the connections to prevent accidental removal of the cables? Thank You for any suggestions! Gregg

If you are talking about desktop system that is very common under transport (not designed for portability). Apart from resetting the loose ones before start up I do not know of anything except adhesive.

The only thing I can think of maybe a spot of hot glue.
Of course if it gets streesed hard enough it would come out too.
But I would rather they come out than break off.
Hot glue would be good for this as it would still peel off but still give the connection a little help.

I sell quite a few PC's and I use locking sata cables, and I hot glue the front panel connectors in. And I zip tie all wires to the chassis real tight so nothing moves.

i find good old elmers glue works well and is easy to remove when you need to.

Thank You to all, It looks like the Hot Glue / Glue Option might work. The stress is not excessive on the cables, it usually just happens when someone pulls out the coiled up power cord and it catches on one of the cables.
