Hello Brad,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

We are ready to procure the wires to make the 140' multi-conductor cables for NPS.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white;">
We would like to know just how many internal conductors will be needed, 42 or 52?</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white;">
We have received a price for the 42-conductor wire (which can be used for the 36 channel CAEN modules) of $4.45/ft for 6000 ft. of wire.

</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white;">
We would need to get a price for the 52-conductor wire. This would be for modules that have 48 channels, if in the future you want to use such modules.<br>
</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white;">
At the moment, I believe that all modules to be used will be the 36 channel type so the 42-conductor wire should be sufficient, is this correct?</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white;">
There is a lead time of 4 to 5 weeks for the wire.<br>
In regards to the length of the wire, we are investigating if the manufacturer (General Wire) can cut the wire to a specified length.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white;">
If this is possible, we would purchase 34 142' spools.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white;">
If the manufacturer cannot cut the wire to length for us, then we would purchase six 1000' spools and Hall C technical staff would need to cut the wire to length of 142' (leaving ~2 ft. extra for each wire for cable fabrication).</div>
<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white;">
We already have a quote from CAEN for the 52-pin Radiall connectors (40 connectors totaling $17,587).

<div style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: white;">
There is a 12 week lead time for the connectors.<br>

While waiting for a response from the French engineering team regarding the SAMTEC connectors, we are researching alternatives that will work for the operating voltage of 1100 V.</div>
