Modern German equatorial mounts usually have several cables plugged into them, such as power , handset and autoguider.
As the mount follows the celestial sphere the cables can tug on the sockets located on the mount. Since these sockets are mounted on the pcb and quite fragile, any strain can cause distortion or disconnections.
A simple bracket screwed to the mount using existing cover screw allows the cables to be retained using a plastic tie.
