Thank goodness for IP control on Sony TVs. I hate dealing with emitters and the included wires! Almost as much as binding posts on amps and receivers! What was wrong with spring terminals? :P
I usually do what Mac does....pull it tight and tie it in with the other cables. If it sags, electrical tape usually does the trick.
If only CEC worked brilliantly....
