Spanish term or phrase: a prueba de extracción

From a series of sentences on an Excel spreadsheet for a company that manufactures ducts, trunking, cable routing solutions (for offices it seems).

This from a section on "furniture boxes" (the term used on the company's website):

Características de la caja de mobiliario
La caja es ampliable ofreciendo respuesta a todas las necesidades.
Robustez en la fijación a mobiliario.
***La caja queda fijada a prueba de extracción de la clavija***.

Could this this mean that the box can be provisionally installed to test plug removal? Sorry there's no further context or pictures but it is what it is

English translation:withstands (plug) removal

Explanation:
I think it means the case/casing/box remains fixed and will not loosen, even though the plug is plugged in and unplugged frequently.
