DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] Hereinafter, various embodiments are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0011] Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating an automatic storage device testing system 1 according to one or more embodiments.

[0012] Reference Figure 1 The automatic storage device testing system 1 may include a first storage device 101 , a second storage device 102 , a testing device 200 , a storage rack 300 , and a robot arm 500 .

[0013] The first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 may include a non-volatile memory device. In one or more embodiments, the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 may be configured as a memory device built into or detachable from an electronic device. For example, the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 may be configured in various forms (such as an embedded universal flash memory (UFS) memory device, an embedded multimedia card (eMMC), a solid state drive (SSD), a UFS memory card, a compact flash memory (CF) memory card, a secure digital (SD) memory card, a micro secure digital (micro SD) memory card, a mini secure digital (mini SD) memory card, an extreme digital (xD) memory card, and a memory stick).

[0014] The test apparatus 200 may perform a plurality of test operations to test the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102. For example, the test apparatus 200 may perform write operations and read operations on the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102, and test characteristics of the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 based on the write operations and the read operations.

[0015] The first cable connector (cCONNECTOR 1) 221 and the second cable connector (cCONNECTOR 2) 222 may be coupled and fixed to the storage rack 300. Specifically, the multi-connector clamp 400 may be coupled and fixed to the storage rack 300 while respectively clamping the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222. The first cable connector 221 may be connected to the test device 200 via the first cable 211, and the second cable connector 222 may be connected to the test device 200 via the second cable 212.

[0016] The first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 may be respectively inserted into the first slot 311 and the second slot 312 provided in the storage rack 300. Specifically, the robot 500 may move based on the coordinates of the first slot 311 and the second slot 312, and insert the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 into the first slot 311 and the second slot 312, respectively, at the position to which the robot 500 moves.

[0017] When the robot arm 500 inserts the first storage device 101 into the first slot 311, the first storage connector (sCONNECTOR 1) 111 of the first storage device 101 may be connected to the first cable connector 221. When the robot arm 500 inserts the second storage device 102 into the second slot 312, the second storage connector (sCONNECTOR 2) 112 of the second storage device 102 may be connected to the second cable connector 222.

[0018] Each of the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 may communicate with the test device 200 via one of various interfaces. Each of the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 may communicate with the test device 200 via various interfaces such as Universal Serial Bus (USB), Multimedia Card (MMC), Embedded MMC (eMMC), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), PCI Express (PCI-E), Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA), Serial ATA, Parallel ATA, Small Computer Small Interface (SCSI), Enhanced Small Disk Interface (ESDI), Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE), FireWire, UFS, and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe).

[0019] In one or more embodiments, the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may be configured according to the same connector standard. For example, the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may be configured according to one of the connector standards of M.2, U.2, Enterprise and Data Center Standard Form Factor (EDSFF), and Micro Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (mSATA). For example, the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may have the same pin map. Specifically, the number and type of pins in the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may be the same. The pin maps of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may be set based on the same standard specification.

[0020] Even if the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 are configured according to the same connector standard, the characteristics of the signals sent / received via the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may be different from each other according to the structures of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222. In one or more embodiments, the characteristics (e.g., voltage level, delay time, signal integrity, eye diagram, etc.) of the signal sent / received via the first pin of the first cable connector 221 may be different from the characteristics of the signal sent / received via the first pin of the second cable connector 222. The structures of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may be different from each other according to the manufacturer. When evaluating the storage device, different cable connectors may be used according to the signal to be evaluated. Therefore, repeated combination and separation between the cable connector and the storage connector may be performed to evaluate various signals.

[0021] However, when the coupling and separation between the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 and the first storage connector 111 and the second storage connector 112 are repeated, the positions of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may change. When the robot arm 500 attempts to connect the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 to the first storage connector 111 and the second storage connector 112, respectively, in a state where the positions of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 have been changed, a contact failure or connector damage may occur.

[0022] The multi-connector clamp 400 according to one or more embodiments is fixed to the storage rack 300 and clamps the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222, respectively, so that the combined positions of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 can be fixed. In addition, each of the combined surfaces of the multi-connector clamp 400 may have a structure optimized to clamp the corresponding cable connector. For example, the first combined surface of the multi-connector clamp 400 may have a structure matching the first cable connector 221, and the second combined surface of the multi-connector clamp 400 may have a structure matching the second cable connector 222.

[0023] Therefore, the multi-connector fixture 400 can establish connections between the first storage connector 111 and the second storage connector 112 and the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 using the robot arm 500 without poor contact or damage to the connectors.

[0024] FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C is a diagram illustrating an automatic storage device testing system 1 according to one or more embodiments. FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C Please refer to the following Figure 1 is described.

[0025] Reference Figure 2A The automatic storage device testing system 1 may include a storage tray 520 and a robot arm 500 .

[0026] The storage tray 520 may be configured as a movable or fixed type. The storage tray 520 may accommodate various storage devices (e.g., Figure 1 101 and 102 in the figure). The robot arm 500 can freely move within the movable range 510 having a spherical shape. The robot arm 500 can insert the storage device stored in the storage tray 520 into the slot of the storage rack 300 (for example, Figure 1 The robot arm 500 may include a plurality of joints, and each joint may include a motor that provides a rotational motion.

[0027] When the robot arm 500 inserts the storage device into the slot, the cable connector and the storage connector of the storage device can be connected to each other. Figure 1 400 in the example) is pre-fixed to the slot, so the position of the cable connector can be maintained constant (remains fixed). Therefore, even if the insertion of the storage device is repeated based on the coordinates of the slot, a smooth connection between the storage connector and the cable connector is possible.

[0028] Reference Figure 2B , the storage rack 300 may include at least one slot 310. The slot 310 may include a storage device (e.g., Figure 1 The robot arm 500 may approach the slot 310 based on the coordinates of the slot 310 and insert the storage device into the slot 310 .

[0029] Reference Figure 2C , the arm end 501 of the robot arm 500 may push the storage device 100 into the slot 310. When the arm end 501 places the storage device 100 in the slot 310, the cable connector and the storage connector of the storage device 100 may be connected to each other. The cable connector may be pre-fixed to the slot 310. Specifically, the multi-connector fixture ( Figure 1 400) can be coupled to the storage rack 300 while clamping the cable connector. The position of the cable connector is maintained even when repeated test operations are performed, so that the connection between the storage connector and the cable connector can be established without poor contact between the cable connector and the storage connector or damage to the cable connector and the storage connector.

[0030] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating the insertion of a first storage device 101 and a second storage device 102 according to one or more embodiments. Figure 1 and Figure 2 describes Figure 3 .

[0031] Reference Figure 3 , the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 can be respectively inserted into the first slot 311 and the second slot 312 by the robot arm 500. Although the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 are shown as being inserted in the Y-axis direction, the embodiment is not limited thereto. The first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 can be inserted into the first slot 311 and the second slot 312 in various directions.

[0032] Figure 1 The multi-connector clamp 400 may be coupled to the storage rack 300 corresponding to each of the first slot 311 and the second slot 312. Specifically, the storage rack 300 may include a plate 320, and the multi-connector clamp 400 may be coupled to the plate 320. Corresponding to the first slot 311, the multi-connector clamp 400 may be coupled to the plate 320 while a first coupling surface of the multi-connector clamp 400 clamps the first cable connector 221. Corresponding to the second slot 312, the multi-connector clamp 400 may be coupled to the plate 320 while a second coupling surface of the multi-connector clamp 400 clamps the second cable connector 222.

[0033] When the first storage device 101 and the second storage device 102 are inserted into the first slot 311 and the second slot 312 , respectively, the first storage connector 111 and the second storage connector 112 may be connected to the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 clamped by the multi-connector clamp 400 , respectively.

[0034] Figure 4A and Figure 4B 2 is a diagram showing a first cable connector 221 and a second cable connector 222 according to one or more embodiments. Figure 4A is a plan view of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 in the Y-axis direction, Figure 4B 2 is a plan view of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 in the Z-axis direction.

[0035] As used herein, the length of the cable connector in the Z-axis direction may be referred to as the height, the length of the cable connector in the X-axis direction may be referred to as the width, and the length of the cable connector in the Y-axis direction may be referred to as the depth.

[0036] Reference Figure 4A , the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may have the same pin map. That is, the number and type of pins in the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may be the same. The pin maps of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 may be formed based on the same standard specification.

[0037] The first cable connector 221 may have a first height H1 and a first width W1. The second cable connector 222 may have a second height H2 and a second width W2. The housing size of the cable connector may vary depending on the manufacturer of the cable connector. That is, the first height H1 and the second height H2 may be different from each other, and the first width W1 and the second width W2 may be different from each other. The first height H1 may be greater than the second height H2 by a height difference dH.

[0038] Reference Figure 4B , the first cable connector 221 may have a first depth D1, and the second cable connector 222 may have a second depth D2. The first depth D1 and the second depth D2 may be different from each other. The first depth D1 may be smaller than the second depth D2 by a depth difference dD. Dip structures 231 and 232 may be formed on the upper surface of the second cable connector 222. The concave dip structures 231 and 232 may include concave portions on the upper surface of the second cable connector 222.

[0039] According to one or more embodiments, the multi-connector clamp 400 may include coupling surfaces having different structures according to the sizes of the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222. That is, the first surface of the multi-connector clamp 400 may match the structure of the first cable connector 221, and the second surface of the multi-connector clamp 400 may match the structure of the second cable connector 222. Therefore, the multi-connector clamp 400 may provide compatibility for clamping multiple cable connectors.

[0040] Figure 5A and Figure 5B is a diagram showing a multi-connector fixture 400 according to one or more embodiments. Specifically, Figure 5A is a plan view of the multi-connector fixture 400 in the Y-axis direction, and Figure 5B is a plan view of the multi-connector fixture 400 in the X-axis direction.

[0041] Reference Figure 5A , the multi-connector clamp 400 may have two bonding surfaces. The upper bonding surface may be used when clamping the first cable connector 221, and the lower bonding surface may be used when clamping the second cable connector 222. Figure 5A When viewed in the Y-axis direction, the profile of the multi-connector fixture 400 may have an H shape having a first overall height tH1 and a first overall width tW1.

[0042] Reference Figure 5B, when viewed in the X-axis direction, the profile of the multi-connector fixture 400 may have a rectangular shape with a first overall height tH1 and a first overall depth tD1. The first support member 401 and the second support member 402 may protrude in the (+) Y-axis or (-) Y-axis direction. The first cable 211 may be placed on the first support member 401, and the second cable 212 may be placed on the second support member 402.

[0043] The multi-connector clamp 400 clamps the first cable connector 221 and the second cable connector 222 using the upper and lower bonding surfaces facing each other in the Z-axis direction, and therefore, the first total height tH1 of the multi-connector clamp 400 may be greater than the sum of the first height H1 and the second height H2. In the multi-connector clamp 400, the space for clamping the first cable connector 221 and the space for clamping the second cable connector 222 may at least partially overlap each other in the Z-axis direction. Therefore, the first total depth tD1 of the multi-connector clamp 400 may be less than the sum of the first depth D1 and the second depth D2.

[0044] Fig. 6A and Figure 6B 2 is a diagram illustrating a multi-connector clamp 400 clamping a first cable connector 221 according to one or more embodiments.

[0045] Reference Fig. 6A , the upper bonding surface of the multi-connector fixture 400 may have a structure for clamping the first cable connector 221 .

[0046] Specifically, the first cable 211 may be seated in the first cable groove 411 on the upper coupling surface, and the first cable connector 221 may be clamped in the first cable connector groove 412 on the upper coupling surface.

[0047] The first cable groove 411 may be formed in a size to accommodate the first cable 211. Specifically, the first cable groove 411 may have a first cable groove width coW1, a first cable groove depth coD1, and a first cable groove height coH1. The first cable groove depth coD1 may have a value obtained by subtracting the first cable connector groove depth ccoD1 from the total depth tD. The first cable groove width coW1 may be greater than the width of the first cable 211. The first cable groove height coH1 may be greater than the thickness of the first cable 211.

[0048] The first cable connector groove 412 can clamp the outer portion of the first cable connector 221. Specifically, the first cable connector groove 412 can have a first cable connector groove width ccoW1, a first cable connector groove depth ccoD1, and a first cable connector groove height ccoH1. Figure 4A and Figure 4B, the first cable connector groove width ccoW1 may be equal to the first width W1. The first cable connector groove height ccoH1 may be equal to the first height H1. The first cable connector groove depth ccoD1 may be less than the first depth D1. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the first cable connector groove depth ccoD1 may be equal to or greater than the first depth D1. In addition, the first cable connector groove width ccoW1, the first cable connector groove depth ccoD1, and the first cable connector groove height ccoH1 may be set so that the first cable connector groove 412 clamps the outside of the first cable connector 221.

[0049] The first cable connector groove width ccoW1 may be greater than the first cable groove width coW1. The first cable connector 221 is clamped in the first cable connector groove 412, and the first cable 211 is placed in the first cable groove 411. Therefore, the first cable connector 221 can be prevented from being separated in the Y-axis direction.

[0050] Reference Figure 4A , Figure 4B , Fig. 6A and Fig. 7A , the first cable connector groove depth ccoD1 is comparable Fig. 7A The second cable connector groove depth ccoD2 is smaller than the depth difference dD. In addition, the first cable connector groove height ccoH1 is comparable Fig. 7A The height of the second cable connector groove ccoH2 is smaller than the height difference dH. In addition, the width of the first cable connector groove ccoW1 is comparable to Fig. 7A The second cable connector groove width ccoW2 is smaller than the width difference dW. Therefore, the upper bonding surface of the multi-connector fixture 400 may have a structure matching the first cable connector 221. The lower bonding surface of the multi-connector fixture 400 overlapping with the upper bonding surface in the vertical direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction) may include a second cable connector groove 422 and a second cable groove 421.

[0051] Reference Figure 6B , the multi-connector clamp 400 can be coupled to the storage rack 300 so that the upper coupling surface of the multi-connector clamp 400 is oriented in the (-) Z-axis direction (e.g., facing the (-) Z-axis direction). The first cable connector 221 is located below the multi-connector clamp 400 (i.e., in the (-) Z-axis direction), and therefore, the first cable connector 221 can be prevented from being separated in the (+) Z-axis direction. Specifically, the multi-connector clamp 400 can be coupled to a portion of the storage rack 300 (e.g., by inserting a connecting member (e.g., a screw) into the connector fixing hole 414. Figure 3The multi-connector fixture 400 may include a cable fixing hole 413, and the first cable connector 221 may be fixed in the multi-connector fixture 400 by inserting a connecting member into the cable fixing hole 413. Figure 3 In a state where the multi-connector fixture 400 is on the plate 320 in the storage rack 300, the multi-connector fixture 400 may be coupled to the first cable connector 221. Therefore, the first cable connector 221 may be prevented from being separated from the portion of the storage rack 300 in the (-) Z-axis direction.

[0052] The first cable 211 may be accommodated in the first cable groove 411 of the multi-connector fixture 400. The width cW1 of the first cable 211 may be smaller than the first cable groove width coW1. The first cable connector 221 may be clamped in the first cable connector groove 412 of the multi-connector fixture 400.

[0053] In a state where the first cable connector 221 is clamped, the robot arm 500 may insert the first storage device 101 into the first slot 311. The first storage connector 111 of the first storage device 101 may be connected to the first cable connector 221.

[0054] Fig. 7A and Figure 7B is a diagram illustrating a multi-connector clamp 400 that clamps the second cable connector 222 according to one or more embodiments.

[0055] Fig. 7A is through Fig. 6A The multi-connector fixture 400 is rotated 180 degrees in the X-axis direction. Fig. 7A , the lower coupling surface of the multi-connector fixture 400 may have a structure for clamping the second cable connector 222 .

[0056] Specifically, the second cable 212 may be seated in the second cable groove 421 in the lower coupling surface of the multi-connector fixture 400, and the second cable connector 222 may be clamped in the second cable connector groove 422 in the lower coupling surface.

[0057] The second cable groove 421 may be formed in a size to accommodate the second cable 212. Specifically, the second cable groove 421 may have a second cable groove width coW2, a second cable groove depth coD2, and a second cable groove height coH2. The second cable groove depth coD2 may have a value obtained by subtracting the second cable connector groove depth ccoD2 from the total depth tD. The second cable groove width coW2 may be greater than the width of the second cable 212. The second cable groove height coH2 may be greater than the thickness of the second cable 212.

[0058] In one or more embodiments, the protruding protrusion structure may be formed on the lower coupling surface of the multi-connector fixture 400 on the concave structure ( Figure 4B Specifically, when the second cable connector 222 is clamped in the second cable connector groove 422, the upper surface of the second cable connector 222 may contact the support surface 415. Therefore, the protruding structure may be formed on the support surface 415 to contact the recessed structure ( Figure 4B The protruding structure may cooperate with the recessed structures 231 and 232 to strengthen the fixing force between the multi-connector fixture 400 and the second cable connector 222 .

[0059] The second cable connector groove 422 can clamp the outer portion of the second cable connector 222. Specifically, the second cable connector groove 422 can have a second cable connector groove width ccoW2, a second cable connector groove depth ccoD2, and a second cable connector groove height ccoH2. Figure 4A and Figure 4B , the second cable connector groove width ccoW2 may be equal to the second width W2. The second cable connector groove height ccoH2 may be equal to the second height H2. The second cable connector groove depth ccoD2 may be less than the second depth D2. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the second cable connector groove depth ccoD2 may be equal to or greater than the second depth D2. In addition, the second cable connector groove width ccoW2, the second cable connector groove depth ccoD2, and the second cable connector groove height ccoH2 may be set so that the second cable connector groove 422 clamps the exterior of the second cable connector 222.

[0060] The second cable connector groove width ccoW2 may be greater than the second cable groove width coW2. The second cable connector 222 is clamped in the second cable connector groove 422, and the second cable 212 is placed in the second cable groove 421. Therefore, the second cable connector 222 can be prevented from being separated in the Y-axis direction.

[0068] Reference Fig.9A , the front bonding surface of the multi-connector clamp 600 may have a structure for clamping the first cable connector 221 .

[0069] Specifically, the third cable connector groove 621 of the front bonding surface of the multi-connector clamp 600 can clamp the outer portion of the first cable connector 221. Specifically, the third cable connector groove 621 can have a third cable connector groove width ccoW3, a third cable connector groove depth ccoD3, and a third cable connector groove height ccoH3. Figure 4A , Figure 4B and Fig.9A , the third cable connector groove width ccoW3 may be equal to the first width W1. The third cable connector groove height ccoH3 may be equal to the first height H1. The third cable connector groove depth ccoD3 may be less than the first depth D1. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the third cable connector groove depth ccoD3 may be equal to or greater than the first depth D1. In addition, the third cable connector groove width ccoW3, the third cable connector groove depth ccoD3, and the third cable connector groove height ccoH3 may be set so that the third cable connector groove 621 clamps the outside of the first cable connector 221.

[0070] The multi-connector fixture 600 may include a movement limiting wall 623 that forms a partition between the front and rear coupling surfaces. When the first cable connector 221 is clamped in the third cable connector groove 621, the movement limiting wall 623 prevents the first cable connector 221 from moving in the Y-axis direction.

[0071] The space between the adjacent movement limiting walls 623 may be referred to as a cable groove, and the cable groove may have a cable groove height coH and a cable groove width coW. When the first cable connector 221 is clamped on the front bonding surface, a portion of the first cable 211 may be placed on the cable groove, and the first cable 211 may extend in the Y-axis direction. Therefore, the cable groove width coW may be greater than the width of the first cable 211. The cable groove height coH may be greater than the thickness of the first cable 211.

[0074] When the second cable connector 222 is clamped in the fourth cable connector groove 622 , the movement limiting wall 623 may prevent the second cable connector 222 from moving in the (−)Y-axis direction.

[0075] When the second cable connector 222 is clamped on the rear bonding surface, a portion of the second cable 212 may be placed on the cable groove, and the second cable 212 may extend in the (-) Y-axis direction. Therefore, the cable groove width coW may be greater than the width of the second cable 212. The cable groove height coH may be greater than the thickness of the second cable 212.

[0076] Reference Figure 4A , Figure 4B , Fig.9A and Fig. 9B, the fourth cable connector groove depth ccoD4 may be greater than the third cable connector groove depth ccoD3 by a depth difference dD. In addition, the third cable connector groove height ccoH3 may be greater than the fourth cable connector groove height ccoH4 by a height difference dH. In addition, the third cable connector groove width ccoW3 may be greater than the fourth cable connector groove width ccoW4 by a width difference dW. Therefore, the front bonding surface of the multi-connector fixture 600 may have a structure that matches the first cable connector 221. The rear bonding surface and the front bonding surface of the multi-connector fixture 600 may overlap each other in the horizontal direction (e.g., the Y-axis direction).

[0090] The first cable groove 721 may have a first cable groove width coW1 and a first cable groove depth coD1.

[0091] The first bonding surface of the multi-connector clamp 700 can clamp the first cable connector 811 and accommodate the first cable 821. Specifically, the first cable connector 811 can be clamped in the first cable connector groove 711, and the first cable 821 can be placed on the first cable groove 721.

[0092] The first cable connector groove width ccoW1 may be greater than the first cable groove width coW1. Therefore, the first cable connector 811 clamped in the first cable connector groove 711 may be prevented from being separated in the Y-axis direction.

[0093] The outline of the first cable connector 811 may have a rectangular shape having a first width W1 and a first depth D1. However, the embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0094] The first cable connector groove width ccoW1 of the first cable connector groove 711 may be equal to the first width W1 .

[0095] The multi-connector fixture 700 may include a connector fixing hole 731 and a cable fixing hole 732. A connecting member (eg, a screw) passing through the connector fixing hole 731 is coupled to a board (eg, Figure 3 320 in the figure), therefore, the first cable connector 811 can be prevented from being separated in the Z-axis direction. The connecting member passing through the cable fixing hole 732 is coupled to the board, therefore, the first cable 821 can be prevented from being separated in the X-axis direction.

[0103] The second depth D2 may be greater than the first depth D1 by a first depth difference dD1. The second cable connector groove depth ccoD2 may be greater than the first cable connector groove depth ccoD1 by a first depth difference dD1. Therefore, the second cable connector 812 may be inserted into the multi-connector fixture 700 deeper than the first cable connector 811 in the Y-axis direction by a first depth difference dD1. Therefore, when the robot arm 500 inserts the storage connector (e.g., Figure 6B When the storage connector 111) is inserted into the first slot 311, the storage connector and the cable connector can be connected to each other at a constant position regardless of the type of the cable connector.

[0108] The third depth D3 may be greater than the second depth D2 by a second depth difference dD2. The third cable connector groove depth ccoD3 may be greater than the second cable connector groove depth ccoD2 by a second depth difference dD2. Therefore, the third cable connector 813 may be inserted into the multi-connector fixture 700 deeper than the second cable connector 812 in the Y-axis direction by a second depth difference dD2. Therefore, when the robot arm 500 inserts the storage connector (e.g., Figure 6B When the storage connector 111) is inserted into the first slot 311, the storage connector and the cable connector can be connected to each other at a constant position regardless of the type of the cable connector.

The fourth cable connector groove depth ccoD4 may be greater than the third cable connector groove depth ccoD3 by a third depth difference dD3. Therefore, the fourth cable connector 814 may be inserted into the multi-connector fixture 700 deeper than the third cable connector 813 in the Y-axis direction by a third depth difference dD3. Therefore, when the robot arm 500 inserts the storage connector (e.g., Figure 6B When the storage connector 111) is inserted into the first slot 311, the storage connector and the cable connector can be connected to each other at a constant position regardless of the type of the cable connector.

[0114] The fourth width W4 may be greater than the third width W3 by a third width difference dW3. The fourth cable connector groove width ccoW4 may be greater than the third cable connector groove width ccoW3 by a third width difference dW3. Therefore, the fourth bonding surface of the multi-connector fixture 700 may match the fourth cable connector 814, and the fourth cable connector 814 may be clamped in the fourth cable connector groove 714 more securely than in the third cable connector groove 713.

[0117] In order to connect the storage connector 841 of the storage device 831 and the second cable connector 861 to each other, the multi-connector clamp 700 can be raised in the Z-axis direction. When the multi-connector clamp 700 is raised in the Z-axis direction, the clamped state formed by the multi-connector clamp 700 is changed to a released state, and the first cable connector 851 can be moved.

[0118] When the first cable connector 851 is removed, the second cable connector 861 may be moved to the slot 310. The multi-connector clamp 700 may be rotated so that the bonding surface corresponding to the second cable connector 861 among the four bonding surfaces of the multi-connector clamp 700 is oriented in the (-) Z-axis direction.

[0126] The cable connector 910 located at a specific position among the cable connectors 910 included in the rotatable multi-connector fixture 900 can be connected to the storage connector of the storage device 1100. For example, the cable connector located at 3 o'clock can be connected to the storage connector. Therefore, when the storage device 1100 is inserted, the rotatable multi-connector fixture 900 can be rotated in the first rotation direction R1 or the second rotation direction R2, so that the storage connector and the cable connector optimized for the signal to be evaluated are connected to each other.

[0127] The first to tenth ports are connected to corresponding cables, and therefore, when the rotation angle increases, entanglement between the cables may occur. When the first to fifth ports are selected as optimized cable connectors, the rotatable multi-connector fixture 900 can be rotated in the second rotation direction R2. In addition, when the sixth to tenth ports are selected as optimized cable connectors, the rotatable multi-connector fixture 900 can be rotated in the first rotation direction R1. Therefore, entanglement between the cables can be minimized.
