Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of computers, in particular to a cable module and a server. Background Art

[0002] A server is a specific IT device that provides computing power and runs software applications in a network environment. It provides computing or application services to other clients (such as personal computers, smart phones, ATM machines and other terminal devices) in the network. Generally speaking, servers have the ability to respond to service requests, provide services, and guarantee services. Compared with ordinary computers, servers have high-speed CPU computing power; long-term reliable operation capabilities; powerful I / O data throughput capabilities and high scalability. As an electronic device, the internal structure of the server is very complex. The main components of the server are: CPU, memory, chipset, I / O devices, storage, peripherals, voltage regulator, power supply and cooling system.

[0003] There is a need to use cables for connection inside the server. The cable head needs to be fixed first so that the connection operation can be completed between the two cable heads inside the server. Especially when it needs to be fixed in the horizontal direction, not only the interconnection structure design of the cable head, the fixed cable head and the positioning structure needs to be able to meet the functional requirements, but also the problem of easy assembly operation must be considered. If the operation method of directly using screws to tighten is not only difficult to operate, but also has the problem of affecting the interconnection assembly operation of the cable heads.
