Preparation of box for mixers

Since the failure of DDS boards last year we have too messy cabling around NIM rack.

I started to prepare a box to enclose all mixers and PLL monitor boxes.

I picked a 2U box and fitted a small aluminium plate to host these components.

The BNC mixers are now properly fixed.

For the SMA mixers I would like to use custom length SMA cables.

I would like to use LEMO feedthrough on the front panel but up to now I can't find the proper washers...

7 mixers and their low pass filters, 2 DC blocks and 1 splitter has been fixed to the aluminium frame.

I also found a board with LEMO 'i-style' feedthrough so I'll take them from this board for the front panels.

Next step is to prepare front panel and several short length sma cables.
