Abstract
An electric plug with a remote strain relief sleeve displaced along the electric cord from the plug body and connected to the plug body by a pair of rails attached to the plug body and the strain relief sleeve. The rails include opposing and alternating V-shaped grooves to provide flexibility. A tough, flexible insert molded within the rails adds strength without taking away flexibility. An arc in the cord between the plug body and the strain relief sleeve provides a force to bend the cord near the plug head while at the same time provide some slack to take up slippage of the copper wires within the cord.
