A block of pretty wood which is big enough to not get pulled into that hole, with a slot halfway through it which is a tad wider than the cable diameter. The cable drops into the slot, and the connector can't pull through the slot. Simple, and woodworkery.

How about stapling the wire somewhere in the back of the cabinet ?

You could also use something less woodworkery but possibly more functional to secure the wires behind the pretty wood block...

To get around the cable diameter problem, make the slot somewhat V-shaped. A thin cable drops down near the bottom before it catches. A thick cable catches higher up in the slot.
