At least on my MX2800s there is a loop for a zip tie on the back on the
left on the amphenol connector. If you connect them so the cable comes
out the left side, it's pretty easy to secure them on the right side
with a screw and on the left side with the zip tie. I think mine even
came with little 4" zip ties that did the trick without looking ugly.

If you have them connected the other way around (e.g. screw on the left,
cable on the right), make sure you take out the connector for DC too, as
these will stop the connector from being in securely. No zip tie on that
side though.
