Per Cheryl and JoeG's request, we went into HAM2 to plug in the 5-way coax cables into the vac-side chamber feedthrus. It took 3 hours for 4 cables, but it's done. For the people planning 3IFO install stuff, this job would be much easier to do before the ISI goes in the chamber. These cables are difficult in the BSC chambers, where access is pretty good. In the HAM chamber, it's almost impossible. The reach is bad, there's no visibility and you can only use one hand. Because these cables are spring loaded, you would really like two hands, one to hold the cable in place Failiing that, a good alternative might have been to pull the feedthrus and install from the outside, but cable trays and piping would have made access on that side pretty awful, too.
