Adorama Off-Camera TTL Coiled Flash Cord for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras, with Flash Tilt Capability, Extends to 6'

I need a remote flash cord that will get a tripod mounted flash at least 36 inches offset from my Sony A77 camera to avoid reflection from light fog and water droplets. My first try with this cord allowed me to get the flash 45 inches to the left of the camera before the tripod on which the flash is mounted begins to tip. This meets my requirement of 36 inches. On the first test it worked fine. Problems: 1) It is difficult to mount the flash on the remote fitting because it is so very tight. (Flash fits just fine on the camera.) 2) There is no strain relief on the cable ends. It will obviously break where the cable enters the flash holder - the individual wires can be seen around the opening. When the cable breaks I'll have a $45 remote flash holder!
