The motor and sensor cables are longer than my set-up requires. In the attached picture, lines from all 4 meet beneath the surface on which the Dominator rests. The Power Box will go on its own shelf, exactly where these cable ends are. The Masso will go on a stand above the table surface, taking some of these cable ends, but there will still be a lot of extra length. Options: 1. Leave all of them draped where nature takes them (dust, tripping, snagging) 2. Jam them together in a tidy mass (interference?) 3. Secure cleats under the cabinet to wrap excess cables in loops. (also interference but less?) 4. Cut to shorter lengths and: - Re-solder the pins on the aircraft connectors (ugh) or: - Restore each wire on the motor and sensor ends (ugh 2) What would you do? ![20260923_094244](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/pwncnc/original/2X/5/5afa08c761960257784988966c826abb76a13126.jpeg) ---
