This paper reports on technology developed at AISA/GEC ALSTROM to meet LHC dipole superconductive cable requirements. The program carried out includes the development of five micron NbTi filament, high Jc and low magnetization elementary strands for high field applications and the manufacturing of large compacted keystone cables. Characteristics of NbTi sc strands and cables manufactured are presented in this paper as well as test results performed at 4.2 K and below for magnetic fields up to 11 Tesla.
