abstract = "The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS–V) is an all-sky spectroscopic survey of >6 million objects, designed to decode the history of the Milky Way, reveal the inner workings of stars, investigate the origin of solar systems, and track the growth of supermassive black holes across the universe. The Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is a facility designed to provide a contiguous 2500 deg2 integral-field survey over a 3.5 year period from Las Campa{\~n}as Observatory (LCO) in Chile. The facility comprises four 0.16 m bench-mounted telescopes that feed three multi-object spectrographs with 1801 science fibres, 119 calibration fibres, and 24 sky-background fibres. The fibre cable spans approximately 20 meters from the telescope platform to the spectrograph slits. A sorting hat, located in the spectrograph room, redistributes the 1944 fibres into three 648–element bundles that terminate at the spectrograph slits. In this paper, we briefly summarize the current production progress of the integral-field units, the spectrograph slits, and the sorting hat.",
