I've used both Velcro scraps, plastic cable ties and electrical tape for strain relief on my wireless connection. Velcro straps seem to work the best, but need to be replaced every 8-10 years or so. The rest is crap. Since I was reconfiguring the setup every few years, I could easily replace the worn/weathered straps when I did the reconfiguration. I don't know what I'd use for a more permanent installation.
