Q1: I have the d-sub housing and the male pins in my lab. I did not order any 
backshells, these are a stock item, let me know if I should place an order 
for these. 

Q2: Yes, we ordered 1,000ft of the purple cable, it is in my lab as well. 

Q3: I would suggest that whoever procures the bare PCB also handles assembly. 
The assembly vendors all have different requirements for the dimensions of 
the panelized boards to fit their pick and place/ovens etc. If you'd like I 
can get some quotes for PCB + Assembly + Parts kit locally. 

Q4: For the test run of 10 units, I ordered the V3 T-Boards turn-key from 
Sierra Circuits (A vendor out of California, I wouldn't use them for 
production as they'll likely be more expensive than local assembly houses). 
KC Electronics assembled the d-sub connector and soldered the cable to the 
board. 

I can get a new quote and time estimate for the assembly of the cables, and 
soldering these to the T-Board. Last I spoke with a vendor rep about PCB 
assembly, he suggested that KC would be cheaper to solder wires to the 
t-board, as they're better equipped for that kind of work. 

Gerard - You mentioned we may want to have various lengths and spares in each 
length. Do you have any idea how many total t-boards and cable assemblies we 
would want to have assembled? Lengths shouldn't matter for quoting purposes 
I'd imagine.

-> The plan is SDU would provide all the T-boards (and hybrids). 
Jianing/Maowu/Li should confirm and comment on the time.

-> Assembly for prototypes were taken care of by BNL. We did not explicitly 
discuss assembly for production. It makes sense to do the same as the 
prototype (i.e. by BNL). But I guess the work can also be done by SDU if they 
agree.
