The ZSpec alternatives are detailed in the ZFront harness. Detector CoaXPress links are in the ZImager and server harnesses.
Port assignments#
Switch ports, patch-panel ports, and cable IDs will be added to the connection table as the topology is selected. The assembly drawings will supply cable models and connector details.
Team notes: The shared uplink versus individual Archon fibers determines much of the VIS/NIR switch layout. Module disconnects also need a straightforward temporary uplink for bench operation.
