A device to prevent the accidental unplugging (disconnection) of two cords. A cord locking device comprising a unitary body of two surfaces spaced apart and formed into a flattened "S" shape comprising two loops facing in opposite directions and sharing a common central member, formed from a resilient material. The spaces at the open loop ends taper from relatively wide openings to narrow gaps and then taper to wider spaces at the closed loop ends. The two cords are essentially held by friction between the surface of the cords and the interior surfaces of the device. Opposite tensional forces placed on the two cords are thereby transferred to the common central member of the two loops, of the device, which prevents the disconnection of the cords.
