Trying to secure network card

[amrogers3]

Can you guys help me figure out how to secure this cable to the network card? Apologies for crappy pic.

A dab of epoxy?

Binder clips on each end of the socket and then remove the metal tabs?

Should have mentioned, there isn't much room on the top of this. The case fits pretty close to top of the card. Also, I would be worried putting binder clips and trying to remove the metal pieces, I would probably break something

A dab of epoxy?

This might work but it would probably touch the metal connectors. Probably wouldnt be an issue.

Does anyone make a connector piece that would fit in between the holes on the cable and card?

Drill bit and a piece of scrap metal with 3 holes would be enuff to hold it in place.

A thick piece of plastic would also work and would not short anything else if you happen to be clumsy.

Use long zip ties, link a couple together if needed.
You can loop through the space between the ribbon cables and around the whole card.

Zip ties are so under-rated. They're the duct tape of the tech world!

Hot glue. RTV silicon.

As mentioned above, RTV Silicon would be a good one. But the stuff is MESSY, so get ready.
