So this has driven me nuts scouring around trying to find and figured you guys of anyone should know the answer.
I see these on all kinds of audio gear but don't know the proper name for them. They're usually mounted right next to the DC jack to prevent accidental disconnection. In Radial's Backtrack manual it just says "Connection for the
included power supply with handy cable clamp to prevent accidental disconnection." But searching "Cable clamp" brings up nothing but products for much larger cables with a totally different purpose.
Thanks!

Yes, I know it's the black clip above the DC jack.
I'm trying to source the part.
A Google search of "cable clamp" doesn't bring up anything even close.

It is a cable clamp, it clamps the cable against the casing. The fact others are more common doesn't alter that. Its purpose is as a strain relief, so you can search that term a well. A couple examples of similar things:

Hey these are all great responses, thank you everyone!
I'm still looking for something as close as possible to the one in the original photo. Here's a picture I took of the side of it. See how the inside is more square-shaped than half-circle? It's also only about 13mm long.

Velcro or the cable clamps inside power plugs are Your friends.
Bear in mind it must have the capability do remove the cable when not used, unless it's permanently fitted inside a rack.
There are also those rubber thingies fitted to washing machine cords,
