I am just wondering how they can check the cable without the second SGANT (for which the cable is) present (to be launched on STS-132). Seems they can.

Makes sense. They installed the cable into (in between) the current SGANT path.

Mike told to demate, check pins, and remate the connections
also to check on the male side to see if the pins are sticking out the same amount. Also to check if on the 6 coax pins if any insulation looks recessed more than others wrt pins.

Pins look good, according to Mike!
Asked to look on the male side, to check the pins are all sticking out at the same length - "they all look like they are sticking out the same amount."
Each of the six pins there are inner and outer pins. Check the inner pins. "They all look the same."
Break break! Told to check something - didn't catch it.

Going to check the female side pins now, again to ensure they are set back the same amount.
Taking pictures straight on and to the side.

The Break was Randy asking someone to come look through the window into the crew lock so they can give him "vectors" to reinstall his BRT

I don't think Mike is taking as many pictures as it looks. It's hard to focus when you take close-ups like Mike did so he probably just had to press down the shutter several times until the camera focused correctly.
