Installation of all the VELO cables at NIKHEF is successfully. After installation tests are done with the resistant measurement system from CERN and all cables are okay [results]. We discovered at two feedthroughflanges rotated connections.
Numbering of the cables: [Right detector] [Left detector]

Installation of the Pile-up cables at NIKHEF.
During installation one cable (part 3 of cable no. 19191) was damaged but electrical gives no problems and we isolate it with epoxy.

On 16 of the VELO cables are connection-bars glued. There are now at Nikhef 35 VELO cables (in total we need 52 VELO cables for one detector).

The detector is almost ready for the coolingtest. The heaters are soldered and routed by Erno Roeland.
In the coolingsetup is a accumulator added by Peter Thobe.
