Why are the cables exposed ? Wouldn't it better to fix them inside the rover and only have the relevant ends pop out when there is a need to connect to a device

Why are the cables exposed ? Wouldn't it better to fix them inside the rover and only have the relevant ends pop out when there is a need to connect to a device located on the outside of the shell in order to reduce interferences and external damages ?
- natep 14y agoMy guess is that they have cables on the outside _and_ inside, and putting yet another cover over the outside cables would mean more mass. As-is, they only have to worry about wind and sand, so extra metal shielding is probably not necessary.
