We've tried anchoring the cables down using zipties, which are clumsy and not as effective as tape. Does anyone have a better solution that's FVC legal? The cables are long enough, with no tension (except gravity) on them.
Hot Glue gun. One glue spot on the place the PWM plugs into the housing works. Both sides if you want to really hold it down.
