Optical Fibers / Electronics Upgrade

- Fibers need for Upgrade -> Installation ?

- Two techniques possible for multi fibers installation

- Different routing possible from UX to surface (3 pits)

- Responsibilities for material installation

- Patch panels detector side (space)

- Status, Planning

13 June 2013Laurent Roy

Need for Upgrade:

Multimode - 50/125μm - OM3 or OM4 - λ= 850nm -144 fibers? (12 x12) / cable or tubeMPO connectors

Total: ~ 17 000 fibers (Ken table / based on quantities estimated by the sub-detectors)

Total Length between detector and DAQ: ~ 300m (Rk: 2 options still open for ‘Tell40’ position)

‘Long distance’ fibers installed today Trunk cable:Multimode - 50/125 μm - OM2 - λ= 850 nm - 96 fibers cable (8 ribbons of 12) MPO connectors

Total: 87 installed = 8350 fibers - 6 lengths ordered mini: 43m – maxi: 65mspace in cable tray~2cm2/cable

2 possibilities for multi fibers installation

1) Optical cable blown through rigid tubes:

• well control by the companies for long distance (1-3 km) in Telecom

• installation could be separated in 3 phases (tubes, fibers, connectors)

• large total section needed (~ 30 tubes diam. 40mm for 17000 fibers)

• bending radius constraining• ‘ technician time ’ for splicing very long - standard splicing (mono fiber): ~17 weeks with 2 technicians - splicing machine for 12 fibers ribbon exist (16000€: Fujikura 70R) but not used a lot by European companies, need fibers organized per ribbon in the cable blown.• need space for ‘splicing cassette’ in both ends

2 possibilities for multi fibers installation

2) Cables pre-connectorized with MPO:• connectors mounted, all fibers tested directly in manufacturer

site (good quality assembly, measurements file provided) • total section reduced (120 cables x 144 fibers, diam.

~15mm/cable)

60-70m is the length maxi EN-Cern group already installed• bending radius during the installation to respect to not break

fibers • cable pulled with its extremities where fragile MPO connectors

are• precautions to take increase time to install (need access) in

cable tray• lengths between racks must be measured with precision before

order nevertheless, need space somewhere to ‘absorb’ the surplus.

Preparation: supports installation during LS1 ?

supports for these 2 techniques are not the same.(special supports for tubes / cable ducts for cable pre-connectorized)

Advises + Prices estimate asked to EN/EL-Optical section + to few companies ~ 1 month ago (with Rainer and Niko): UX85+pit visits on going.

- End of offers reception in ~ 1-2 months should help for our choice

Total length ~ same through the 3 pits.(PM85 ~+10-20m/PZ85)Max 300m.

Daniel Lacarrere scheme

3 pits at Point 8

Laurent Roy

PX85: rejected (space keep free for ‘big detector’…, cable routing not trivial on the top)

PZ85: need to pass through the shielding wall a) access difficult (on the vault above the detectors)

b) use last space available which we will be happy to have for other additional cables? PM85: no access possible for installation during ‘ Physic program’ , + 10-20m

longer

Rk: Thanks Daniel for his help to explore all possibilities…

Additional Patch Panel racks ?

1 Calorimeter PP - A side (full) add 1 rack C side

1 Muon PP for each side add 1 ‘small’ rack in each side ?

Additional Patch Panel racks ?

RB84 Side (Velo, RICH1, TT, Bunker)

Velo+TT+Rich1 keep Balcony racks (if PZ85

used) Use ‘velo analogue’ cable trays add 1 rack C side (if PM85 used)

Planning:

• Sept-Oct 2013: choices done between the different options. • End of 2013: supports integration done in 3D mock-up Need to find Manpower (designer) to integrate the ducts…

• Beginning 2014: offers request for supports installation.

• End of LS1: supports installation done.one optical link prototype (complete chain: transmitter -> Tell40 receiver) installed ?

• 2015: Call for tender (6 months)

• During Technical Stop of LHC ‘Physics program’ 2016-2018Racks, Patch panel and fibers installation, tests.

• First days of LS2: Long distance fibers ready.

13 June 2013Laurent Roy

CONCLUSION

• Choice to do between 2 techniques for fiber installation Choice to do between 4 options for routing (Tell40 on surface or downstairs, PM85 or PZ85) Cost comparative on going

Fibers Tests on going (Rainer slides) • Decisions have to be takeen soon if we want to profit of LS1 to

install supports in PM85 (access limited, even not possible during LHC running period).

• Important to have a good estimate of quantities - end of 2013: to evaluate the space needed, dimension the supports, the patch panel space in UX Racks. - end of 2014: before the call for tender

• Sub detectors, please look at proposal for Patch Panel racks position
