Default What do you use as a USB cable strain relief?

Heat shrink works very well, you may want to use a couple

There's only little problem with that.
How do you get the shrink tubing over the connector?


you've never used shrink tubing, have you?


Eye roll.....

There is a ratio concerning original vs shrink size.
If the tubing is large enough to fit over the connector
it may not shrink down full around the cable.
