One of the responsibilities of the Superconducting Technology Group within the SSC is to supply the superconducting cable to support the various magnet programs, including the Accelerator System String Test (ASST). The strand for the ASST program was purchased from four vendors and cabled on two separate machines under the supervision of SSCL personnel. The 30 strand SSC Inner cable was fabricated on the SSCL owned machine located at New England Electric Wire Corporation in Lisbon, NH. This cabling machine was built by Dour Metal S.A. in Belgium. The 36 strand SSC Outer cable was produced on the prototype cabling machine at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The cable dimensions were measured with the in-line Cable Measuring Machine (CMM) at each of the two facilities and the cable electrical tests were performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. All cable dimensions are reported in inches. A metric version of the CMM software is currently being tested.
