Cable routing decision
There are currently two potential options:
1) Route the cables from the lower APA up "along" the upper APA frame.
2) Route the cables down to the floor of the cryostat all the way to the walls and up the walls.
Information on current status
APA Dimensions
- APA opening dimensions (usable): 44mm x 63 mm = 2772mm2 (constrained by foot tube opening -> Cannot be larger to have enough space for glueing/soldering wires on the foot boards)
Actual dimensions: 70mm x 95mm (see below for drawings)
- Occupancy: -> Free = 689mm2
- PD: = 1913.05mm2 (PD head (18.5mmx18.5mm = 342.25mm2 ) + 10 PD cables (10mm diameter) = 10 x 157.1mm2 = 1570.8mm2 )
- Support bar = 13mmx13mm = 169mm2
- Potential CE cables: Data cables = 105.56mm2: Width=26mm, Thick=~4.06mm?? + LV cables ()
Drawings:
Cable size
- PD cables (Cat6): 9-10 mm diameter + PD head (18.5mm x 18.5mm). 5 cables per APA -> 10 cables in upper APA
- Cold cables: Max length = 25m (validated length for Gore), 20 CE cable pairs per APA (can they be split for each side of APA frame? -> 10 CE cable pairs per tube?)
-> CE cable pairs = data cables (26mm) + LV cables (xxmm)
Cable routing plan for protoDUNE
Dimensions: 7m wide x 6m high
Concerns and questions
- How difficult is it to bring the cables up (in or on?) the APA frame? How long are the cables? What type of access we need to pass the cables through?
- Are there any mechanical difficulties to pass the cables up the APA frame? Weight? Space?
- Grounding and Shiedling: Can we bundle the cables together? Do we need mechanical/electrical separations in the APA frame?
- If we go along the cryostat wall, we need longer cables. What is the impact of longer cables on readout? Procurement?
- Is there anyway we can attached the cables on the cryostat wall? At the moment there is no mechanical device on the inner cryostat membrane. The space between APA and membrane is ~15cm. Need to take the weight of the cables into account in this design solution.
