a fixed frame comprising:
a main body portion;
a first holding portion connected to one side of the main body portion and having a first holding surface; and
a second holding portion connected to the other side of the main body portion and having a second holding surface, wherein the first holding surface faces the second holding surface; and
a connection port disposed in the fixed frame and located between the first holding surface and the second holding surface, wherein an external connector is adapted to be inserted from an insertion inlet of the fixed frame to connect with the connection port inside the portable electronic device, and the first holding surface and the second holding surface are adapted to abut against the external connector to fix the external connector on the fixed frame, wherein the fixed frame has no solid structure on one side perpendicular to an inserting direction of the connector, wherein the insertion inlet is opposite to the main body portion, wherein a shortest distance between the first holding surface and the second holding surface is gradually reduced from the insertion inlet toward the main body portion.
