How closely that connection sits near your GPU IO is surprising. It sounds like a potential issue there. Could there be another problem nearby? I haven’t faced this with a DP cable before, but at work I’ve found success using a larger heat shrink, cutting it open like a hot dog bun, trimming the excess, wrapping the cable, and then adding fresh heat shrink around it. If you have the correct size, it should work just fine, but be gentle with the heat application.

The problem seems similar across a few users, likely pointing to a design flaw. It's typical they increased the opening in the second revision. I'm not keen on using a Dremel to alter the case shape, as it could ruin its appearance and require full disassembly. I'd prefer tapered parts but haven't found suitable options except online images. Perhaps I should consider custom modifications instead.

It's a typical problem they addressed in revision 2. The issue seems to be the wide spacing between the IO slots. You might find it helpful to visit an industrial electrician's shop for guidance.

Alternative solutions include using the tape mentioned, which isn't as neat as heat shrink but works for 480V applications.

It's the front lip, honestly. If there was a simple way to get it straight, I'd be happy, but I expect it will probably stay wavy. It's a Streacom DA2. I don't mind complaining about the price I paid, though—thanks for the deal. I'll keep that in mind. Living in a small town means finding a store might be tricky, but I'm willing to check. Around $20 per piece? Haha, yeah.

The design lacks sharp angles; rounded corners make replication difficult. If it were a square, it would look more industrial and easier to copy. I’d likely use blue tape, a pencil, and a square to trace it if needed. Assuming the goal is to separate the metal part from the plastic cover, just grounding it should suffice. Any adhesive would work in that situation.

It seems the issue might be related to grounding across several PCs and screens. For heat shrinking, I haven't encountered it with DP and didn't remove any housing components.
