Temperature Probe Placement Question

[Hope_H]

I have an ESU Reptile Thermostat with a Probe on the end of a 6' Cord. I'm having a new rack setup built, with heat on the back wall of the rack, and the probe tends to get caught up in the top of the tub and roof when opening the drawer. Someone told me the you can just tape the cord outside of the tub on the wall in the back and still have good control over the heat inside of the tub. Has anyone ever done it this way? How do you keep your heat probes in the tubs inside a rack without it getting stuck when opening the drawer? I don't want to damage the cord. Thanks...
