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

Heat shrink works very well, you may want to use a couple
of different diameters of HS so you get a stepped strain
relief on the cable/plug.

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.

It depends on what's on the other end. We know one end is USB.
If the other end is micro-USB for a cell phone, for example,
then it could work.
