Keystoned Rutherford cables made of 28 strands and with a stainless steel core were developed and manufactured using 1 mm Nb3Sn composite wires produced by Oxford Superconducting Technology with 127 and 169 restacks using the Restacked-Rod-Process^®. Furthermore, the performance and properties of these cables were studied to evaluate possible candidates for 15 T accelerator magnets.
