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.

Also in the case of high-rate data transfer, these plugs would probably add a lot of impedance (though that's not a concern in this use case)

    Are electric barrel connectors ever used for data transfer? I've only seen them used for power, but I'm curious if it's possible.
