Cable Specification
• The large aspect ratio of the cable and the present cabling procedure require the cable fabrication in two stages: the rectangular cable with narrower width and lower packing factor and the keystone cable with final parameters
• Long Unit Length ~ 210 m

Strand and Cable
Cable development
• Design and parametric considerations were used in the development of the cables to be made of Nb3Sn RRP wires.
• For the cable geometry contemplated by the magnet designers the mandrel was designed in order to provide sufficient room for the strands to wind around it without excessive damage.
• This requirement, which accompanied the requisites for mechanical stability, allowed determining quite accurately the number of strands needed for each cable geometry.

A large body of data acquired during Nb3Sn conductor development shows that when cabling Nb3Sn RRP wires, it is important that:
Cable Design Parameters•The geometrical relationship between a cable of desired width wC, to be obtained with strands of diameter d, and the required mandrel width wm is shown in the first expression below where is an empirical factor determined by experiment. •The second expression is a simplified formula used for the purpose of parameterizing the number of strands needed for each cable geometry. N is the number of strands in the cable, the cable lay (or pitch) angle

Cable development Rectangular Copper Cables
• The first forming step of the rectangular cables to be used to produce keystoned cables 14.7 mm (with 40 strands) and 15.1 mm (with 41 strands) wide was finalized out of hard Cu wires of 0.7 mm nominal diameter.
• The rectangular cables were 1% narrower than the final desired widths of the keystoned cables in order to account for the 1% width expansion to be expected when performing the second, keystoning, cabling step.
• Selected design was the 40 strand cable because of CERN cabling machine capability

Keystoned cables• After the first stage of rectangular cable study was
completed and the new rollers for the keystoning fixture commissioned the second stage was to make keystoned cables.
• The attempt to make in a single pass a keystoned copper cable was not completely successful. The cable formed but roped entering the keystone wheels in the first 80m.
• The decision was to finish the remaining 245m rectangular and to make a second rectangular copper cable to be wound in a practice coil.

0.7 mm.• In the first pass 250 m of rectangular cable was made.• A piece of 15 m of the rectangular cable was cut and annealed in
argon atmosphere for 1 hour at 180 ºC.• The two cables , annealed and not, were keystoned.• Microstructural analysis of cable cross sections and electrical
characterization of extracted samples were performed.
