Just what I've been recommending for years...

Audio cords and cables may be more or less flexible for side-to-side motion, but are very stiff along their axes. They will transmit vibration into equipment unless carefully dressed and supported. The bigger and stiffer they are, the more effectively they will transfer axial vibration into equipment.

Cords and cables should be supported as if they were components in themselves. Proper support will not add vibration modes, and isolate the cords or cables from wall or floor vibration. Damping is good as long as it does not simply change the effective mass and move the resonant frequencies around.
