A housing having an interior chamber is placed over the plug by sliding the cord through an axial slot formed in the housing, with the plug cord extending through an end opening of the housing. A retainer clip or collar having a U-shaped channel formed about an inner end periphery is slid over and along the housing and mates with a complementary shaped channel formed in the housing to lock the clip and housing together. A pair of adhesive pads are mounted on the ends of the pair of arms extending outwardly from the retaining clip for attachment to the apparatus adjacent the plug receiving socket.
