Well... you're not really supposed to stress a cable by pulling on it.

Yeah, that's what they say, but few people actually respect it. All the
"industrial" grade plugs over here have purpose-built strain reliefs in them
anyway, so that yanking on the cord transfers all the stress to the shell and
none to the contacts.

Even our ordinary mains plugs have that feature sctually.
