The empty cage copy was mounted in the frame. All VTX ladders are in place, but pixel extension cables have not been plugged in. You can see the Hirose connectors where they will go. Mike is holding one extension cable.

Since the VTX cables slope away from the barrels to the cage exterior, they will not touch the Station-0 silicon surface, but will touch the HDI bend of the tall-pedestal wedges at the perimeter of Station 0.

The force needed to push the cables out of the way is small.
One extension cable is (temporarily) in place
