Optical Fibers Connected for AOMs and Filter Cavities

I have re-attached all the fibers that were detached ahead of the move from B102 to B111. The last fiber management system was a mess so I have spent special care to make it much nicer this time around. I've fed all of the 775 and 1550 fibers that were in use (as well as the fourth AOM path in preperation for it being used) through a 1 inch flexible metal tube and fixed this tube to the table. I think it turned out quite well. Pictures attached.

Nice job.  It looks like flexible metal conduit like this:  https://www.lowes.com/pd/Common-1-in-Actual-1-in-Metal-Flex-50-ft-Conduit/50412994

Protecting fibers from the sharp ends is good -- do I see duct tape?  Probably good enough.  I think there might be plastic connectors that do a similar thing:  https://www.lowes.com/pd/1-in-Screw-in-Connector-Flexible-Metal-Conduit-Compatible-Conduit-Fitting/999921004
