rj21/centronics cable mounting

Hi,

I'm searching "something", to secure mount/connect a rj21 cable to a device.
I have a angled plug like this:

It can only be screwed to the device at the top side, and is "loose" at the down side.

I have seen a type of "knop" at the down side and also that a "hook-and-loop fastener" is used over the whole plug.
(http://www.retrevo.com/r/23018bh245/18/ADSL+RJ21+Pinouts/)

Any ideas where to get this or any other ideas how to get a good connection? (retro-fit).

I know, "straight" rj21 plugs would also solve the problem.

Kind regards,

I don't know where to get one after-market, no, but you could
conceivably buy some old gear and extract them.

Usually there is a small plastic or metal hook on the other side of the panel connector (opposite the screw side) which will allow you to use a small zip tie to secure the unscrewed side of the connector.

Easy way to solve this is to lace it in place with some no. 9 wax twine.
I do this on most of these connectors, it's more secure then the cheesy
velcro loops.
