BSCCO-2212 round wires and cables are being studied for possible use in very high field magnets (>; 25 T) within the multi-Lab Very High Field Superconducting Magnet Collaboration (VHFSMC). Billets produced by Oxford Superconducting Technology were used to make Rutherford-type cables of various geometries. The effect of the cable parameters was measured on the extracted strand performance and deformation. Transport properties were measured at 4.2 K in fields up to 14 T for the extracted strands across the edges, and compared with as-received round wire. The same wire used in the cables was also deformed by flat rolling to reproduce the deformation seen by the round strand when formed into a Rutherford cable. After heat treatment, rolled samples were characterized for transport properties and results compared to those obtained for strands extracted from the cables. Finally cables were tested at 4.2 K and self-field using a superconducting transformer and results compared to those of the extracted strands.
