Anyone heard of barrel plugs with magnet adapters? (lemmy.world)

I recently got a nice office chair for Christmas with heated massage functionality and it uses a barrel plug to power it but I have to be super careful to not pull it or damage the barrel connector in any way. I wish there was a magnet conector for these things in case of a yank pull and was wondering if anyone had heard of some adapter like the one I pictured above.

I'd extend the cord and add a break-away somewhere else (strongly attached), removing the strain point from the barrel.

You want the strain in-line with the cord and strain-release connector, whatever you end up using.
