Connector

A testing system may include an electrical cable, a computing device, a communication interface, at least one downstream device, and testing software. The communication interface may be coupled to the electrical cable and to the computing device. The at least one downstream device may be coupled to the electrical cable. The testing software may be stored on the computing device. The testing software may be configured to initiate and evaluate transfer of data between the computing device and the at least one downstream device through the electrical cable and the communication interface.

Examples are disclosed that relate to PCB-based connectors and connector frames for a PCB. In one example, a connector frame comprises a cavity configured to house the PCB, the cavity defined at least partially by a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, and an end wall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. A support surface is adjacent to the cavity on a top side of the connector frame and extends between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. An aperture on the top side of the connector frame is formed at least partially by an edge of the support surface, with the aperture exposing a portion of the cavity through the top side.
