Conventional Rutherford cables are typically made from solid round wire. While multi-stage cables have been made elsewhere, the purpose was usually to achieve a higher strand count and therefore a higher current carrying capability. In this work, we attempt to use two-stage roped strands made from ultrafine wires to fabricate Rutherford cables. The ultimate goal of this work is to obtain a very flexible cable that can wind accelerator magnet coils with a very tight bend radius in both the “easy way” (along the broad face of the cable) and the “hard way” (along the edge of the cable) in the wind-and-react manner, or wind coils with a radius typically used today but in the react and-wind manner with a much reduced degradation in critical current. We report our experience fabricating such Rutherford cables at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the initial findings from the analysis of the experimental cables made. We will discuss how the conventional wisdom and some rules...
