Engineering - Cable Pulling

Here are a few photos of the cable looms that we pulled out of the Presentation and TX rack areas. After working out how we were going to organise them, they were then untangled from this mess and either coiled as single cables or made into new looms containing 8 cables each. This would hopefully allow the rig for Talent Showdown to go a lot quicker.

We also set up a small testing rig so consisting of an SPG, and a WFM both of which had long lengths of cable attached which could then be barrelled onto the end of the cable being tested. This served two purposes, firstly we could test the ends of the cables, ensuring that there was no signal dropout due to dodgy ends, secondly we could test that the overall length of the three cables did not affect the analogue test signal too much, this enabled us to have a test length which we could rig around.
