I raised the North TTFSS box by 6 inches to make way for working on South box and to reduce the congestion of connectors in front of the two boxes. I have also clamped the boxes to a fixed position now, so they can't move. This would ensure the cables are not hitting the end of the platform and face any severe strain.
The next step towards improving lab cable hygiene and layout is to replace all RF cables with RG-405 Belden-N 1671J cables. However, the effects of this change would be less significant then fixing the sick FSS. So I'll first focus on that. |
