Seeking reliable 5.5x2.1mm DC power cable for ASI2600MC camera

Hi all - I’m curious if anyone has advice or experience with really superior flexible 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC power cables. I currently use an Apertura DC Power Cable. It works well, but I’ve had two instances where the connection at the camera comes just loose enough or jiggles enough to disconnect everything, requiring me to push it back in and restart - not a great situation.

I have an ASI2600MC Air camera powered by this cable off a Bluetti Elite 30 battery. The AM3 mount is powered off 120V AC house current and an extension cord and ZWO adapter. This has never caused problems.

The rig has a ZWO EAF and CAA and an Svbony filter drawer.

I’m specifically wondering if anyone has tried a Kondor Blue cable, but am interested in other more flexible cables as well, or solutions to ensure that the jack stays securely in the camera port. Thanks for any guidance. The Kondor Blue cable link is below.

A velcro strap or a dab of hot glue can do wonders…
