The optics flexibility of the LHC insertions is provided by the individually powered quadrupoles in the dispersion suppressors and matching sections. These units comprise special quadrupole magnets of the MQM and MQY type and range in length from 5.4 m to 11.4 m. In total, 82 insertion quadrupoles will be assembled at CERN. In this paper we present the advance in construction and report on the performance of the first series built quadrupoles. In particular, we present the quench performance of the individual magnets and alignment measurements of the cold masses, and discuss the field quality trends and possible implications.
