Abstract
A power adapter includes a power plug and a connector port. A cable retention structure is coupled to the power adapter to move between an open position and a closed position. In an open position, a cable grip of the cable retention structure is configured to hold a power cable, e.g. when the power cable is coupled to the connector port. The cable grip cable holds the power cable to help resist disconnection of the power cable from the connector port. In a closed position, the cable retention structure moves to fold over a side of the power adapter. The cable grip of the cable retention structure fits into a cable grip well in the side of the power adapter and is frictionally held within the cable grip well to secure the cable retention structure in the closed position.
