Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is procuring all amounts of Nb$$_{3}$$Sn conductors for Central Solenoid (CS) in the ITER project. Before start of mass-productions, the conductor should be tested to confirm superconducting performance in the SULTAN facility, Switzerland. The cable with a shorter twist pitch shows no degradation of Tcs against to electromagnetic load cycles. However, it is difficult to make the cable, because the diameter of the cable with shorter twist pitch is larger and the cable has to compact more. The technology for the cables with STP was developed in Japanese cabling suppliers. The several key technologies and production will be described in this paper.
