METHODS OF CONTROLLING JACKET BONDING WITH CABLE ARMOR AND WATER BLOCKING AT STRENGTH MEMBERS

摘要

An armored cable having a polymer covering where the bond between the armor and the covering is controlled by introducing particulate matter at the interface of the armor and covering. A filler material is applied to the exterior surfaces of the cable strength elements in order to inhibit the formation of voids in the polymer covering that would otherwise promote water migration along the cable.
