• Modified Patch Panel

This is a Modified Patch Panel, it allows the
fibres to come out in the lower half and fall to
both sides. It is designed to fit in the given
Z of 3cm and to allow enough surface area to
accommodate the correct number of connectors it
wraps back over the flange of the cryostat. I
will in the near future be looking at the
bulkhead connectors in order that they are easier
to seal against vacuum and will give a greater
packing density. It may be that 3 or 4 on
station connectors link to 1 patch panel feed
through.

Other Work

• We are at present looking into the feasibility
  of building a VLPC cryogenic test rig to carry
  out prototyping and will be seeking out and
  talking to experts

(Very) Rough Layout
