However, the two ends of the data cables are usually RJ45 connectors for transmitting networks. When they need to be fixed, the clearance for avoiding the RJ45 connectors is usually too large, and the transmission line is too thin, making it impossible to maintain the stability of the data cable. At the same time, it is very inconvenient to bundle and fix multiple data cables together. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The working principle of this invention is as follows: A data storage device cable assembly is used by the user who first installs and fixes the mounting plate 1 using the screw 5, so that the surface of the sealing strip 2 contacts the inner wall of an external object. Then, the crystal head at one end of the data cable is pressed against the surface of the pressing plate 904. Since the surface of the pressing plate 904 is inclined, the force causes the upper and lower pressing plates 904 to move away from each other, compressing the return spring 903. At this point, the crystal head passes through the clearance hole 6, and the pressing plate 904 resets under the action of the return spring 903, fixing the data cable within the adapter hole 905. After multiple data cables have passed through the clearance holes 6, the operator pulls the pulling plate 907. The pulling plate 907, through the U-shaped plate 920, drives one of the pressing plates 906 to move, causing... After the annular spring 914 is stretched and deformed by external force, it drives multiple compression plates 906 to slide. At this time, the data cable is placed between the multiple compression plates 906. When the pull plate 907 is released, the compression plates 906 are reset under the action of the annular spring 914, which drives the multiple compression plates 906 to slide back to their original position, clamping and fixing the data cable. At the same time, the position of the bundling ring 8 can be adjusted by manually pulling it. When the bundling ring 8 is under force, the second movable ball head 910 drives the second telescopic rod 908 to extend and retract to change its length. At the same time, the second movable ball head 910 moves in the connecting block 909, and the first movable ball head 913 moves in the positioning block 7, maintaining the overall stability of the bundling ring 8. With the above structure, the crystal head is avoided, and the stability of the data cable is maintained, which makes it easy to bundle and fix multiple data cables.
