In April 2026, Benjamin Holmes presented on behalf of Allectra at the Einstein Telescope Vacuum and Cryogenics Industry Workshop at CERN, Geneva.
The presentation covered the real-world electrical connectivity challenges we tackled supplying ETpathfinder, the Einstein Telescope prototype with in-vacuum feedthroughs, UHV connectors, and Kapton cabling across hundreds of metres.
Download the highlights to see what it takes to get thousands of low-noise signals in and out of a UHV system, at cryogenic temperatures, at scale.
Client testimonials
I've always appreciated Ben's skills very much. We had a lot of fruitful interactions on the business side and very friendly moments in occasions such as conferences.
Ben has always been proactive, available, responsive and sympathetic.
He is always ready to answer technical questions and promote new technological advancements.
