Rugged cable

摘要

A rugged cable may be provided. The rugged cable may comprise a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first layer may comprise fibers in which chain molecules comprising the fibers of the first layer are highly oriented along axis of the fibers of the first layer. The second layer may be around the first layer. The second layer may comprise metal. The third layer may be around the second layer. The third layer may comprise fibers in which chain molecules comprising the fibers of the third layer are highly oriented along axis of the fibers of the third layer.

1. A rugged cable comprising:
a flexible cable core comprising at least one insulated conductor consisting of metal; a flexible first layer around the flexible cable core, the flexible first layer comprising braided para-aramid synthetic fibers; a flexible filler disposed around the flexible cable core, the flexible filler filling at least a portion of a space between the flexible first layer and the flexible cable core, the flexible filler comprising fiber strands generally oriented along a long axis of the rugged cable; a flexible second layer around the flexible first layer, the flexible second layer consisting of braided stainless steel wires comprising Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grade 304 stainless steel; a flexible third layer around the flexible second layer, the flexible third layer comprising braided para-aramid synthetic fibers wherein the para-aramid synthetic fibers of the flexible first layer, the stainless steel wires of the flexible second layer, and the para-aramid synthetic fibers of the flexible third layer are all braided in a similar fashion, the flexible third layer configured to bind and retard foreign elements; and a flexible jacket around the flexible third layer.
