Armored cable with integral support

摘要

A system for providing cable support may be provided. The system may comprise a conductor core, a filler that may provide integral core support, and armor. The conductor core may comprise at least one conductor. The filler may be applied around at least a portion of the conductor core. The armor may be applied around at least a portion of the filler. The applied armor may be configured to cause the filler to apply a strong enough force on an exterior of the conductor core configured to keep the conductor core from slipping down an interior of the filler due to a gravitational force. In addition, the applied armor may be configured to cause the filler to apply a strong enough force on an interior of the armor configured to keep a combination of the conductor core and the filler from slipping down the interior of the armor due to the gravitational force.

1. A cable comprising:
a conductor core comprising at least three conductors and at least one ground wire,
wherein the at least one ground wire is adjacent at least one of the at least three conductors; a filler around the conductor core,
the filler comprising micro-spheres and a polyvinyl chloride; and an electrically conductive armor around the filler,
the armor comprising a concave side facing the filler, wherein portions of the filler fill concavities created by the concave side.
