TS/EL/OF-section • 3 CERN staff • 20 years of experience with optical fibres (from LEP days) • B1201-Optical Fibre Supply and Installation Contract • supply, installation, testing and commissioning of optical fibre cabling systems • any optical cabling solution possible • blanket purchase contract of 12’150’000 Sfr. TS/EL/OF Optical Fibre Services
CMS ALICE ATLAS LHC-b • TS/EL/OF is in charge of a dense optical network for: • Communications • Controls • Timing and RF • Beam-Instrumentation • External optical links • ALICE • CMS • LHC-b CCC 513
P4 RF • and • TTC + BST • optical cabling • temperature compensated fibres still under study CCC
LHC WU and EVM LHC unplanned works/small projects 8 MSfr. unplanned works small projects Experiments Experiments 4 MSfr. Overall fibre activity B1201/TS/LHC blanket purchase contract with room for the Experiments 12’150’000 Sfr. • Experiments 4 MSfr. • More complex than LHC • -more cables • -more connectors • -complex environment • -many users to interface to • Work can be done, but TS/EL/OF can only manage • so much! TS/EL/OF Optical Fibre Services
What an Experiment gets from us: • professional advice, supplies and installations • customized and engineering solutions • 2 year warranty on the installations • operational service with specialized instrumentation but: • good supplies and work have a price! • it needs to be well organized, planned and managed • last minute jobs are possible, but should not be the usual way of working TS/EL/OF Optical Fibre Services
OF projects for the Experiments • ALICE • Detector optical cabling • Data and Trigger cabling • CMS • Muon end cap optical cabling • Data cabling • LHC-b • Long distance multi-ribbon optical cabling • Data cabling TS/EL/OF Optical Fibre Services

Optical patch-cords, cables, connections • A large variety of patch-cords and cables exist in the contract (already over 200) • Any optical patch-cord or cable can be supplied • Above items are not in CERN store! • Quality of optical connections is difficult to check and should be left to professionals! • TS/EL/OF is equipped for and capable of performing this work TS/EL/OF Optical Fibre Services
To summarize • TS-EL-OF and the B1201/TS/LHC contract provide a professional service to the experiments. • The Experiments can make use of the blanket purchase and installation contract: • blanket envelope 4 MSfr. • project(s) need to be defined, budgetized and planned • combined workload is more than can be managed by the available staff • since the part done for the experiment is far more complex than the LHC part, we consider it reasonable to request support from the PH department TS/EL/OF Optical Fibre Services
