A plurality of mounting portions 46 are provided on the side of the second support portion 42 away from the first support portion 41. Preferably, the mounting portion 46 extends outwardly parallel to the corresponding layer 13. A second opening 47 is formed between two adjacent mounting portions 46. A power cord, network cable, or HDMI cable can be inserted into the channel through the second opening 47. The mounting portions 46 at both ends of the second support portion 42 are respectively provided with a second mounting hole 461, through which a bolt passes to fix the mounting portion 46 to the corresponding layer 13. The bracket 4 can support a set-top box, and the connection cables of each set-top box (such as a power cord, network cable, HDMI cable, etc.) are moved out from the first opening 44 at the bottom of the bracket 4 to avoid confusion in the connection. The bracket 4 is suitable for the placement and routing of set-top boxes.

[0030] Back to Figures 1 to 3 , an industrial control screen 5 is installed on the first cabinet door 2. The industrial control screen 5 can be connected to the temperature sensor and the cooling fan 7 in the cabinet 1. On the one hand, it can detect the internal temperature of the cabinet 1 in real time, and on the other hand, it can automatically adjust the speed of the cooling fan 7 according to the set threshold. Each layer of the cabinet 1 is also provided with a power supply 9. Preferably, the power supply 9 is installed on the inner side of the first side panel 11. The external power supply is connected to the power supply 9 to ensure the power supply of the equipment inside the cabinet. A through hole 15 is provided at the bottom of the first side panel 11. The network cable enters the cabinet 1 through the through hole 15 and is connected to the network switch 6. The network connection of multiple devices is completed through the network switch 6. The outlet network cables are all distributed from the through hole 16 on the back side of the cabinet 1 or the back panel adjacent to the cabinet 1 to the channel formed by the bracket 4 on the shelf 13 of each layer and the corresponding shelf 13. Preferably, a switch 8 is also installed at the bottom of the first side panel 11 to control the power on and off of the equipment in the cabinet 1.

[0031] When in use, multiple set-top boxes are respectively connected to the power cord, network cable or HDMI cable extending from the first opening 44, and placed on the first support portion 41 of the bracket 4 for testing. Preferably, each bracket 4 can hold about 8 set-top boxes. After connecting the power cord, network cable, HDMI cable, etc., the external test platform can send instructions to multiple devices for automated testing. The temperature sensor in the cabinet 1 detects the internal temperature of the cabinet 1 in real time and feeds the data back to the industrial control screen 5. The industrial control screen 5 can display information such as the internal temperature, power supply, and number of devices of the cabinet 1, and the staff can set the temperature monitoring threshold on the industrial control screen 5, so that the cooling fan 7 connected to the industrial control screen 5 can automatically adjust the speed according to the internal temperature to avoid high temperatures of various devices in the cabinet 1.
