Resilient electrical cables

An electrical cable comprising:

• (a) more than one insulated conductor and at least one compression resistant interstitial filler rod;
• (b) a fiber reinforced tape surrounding the insulated conductors and compression resistant interstitial filler rod;
• (c) a polymeric jacket comprising a polymeric material and a carbon fiber material wherein the polymer jacket encases the fiber reinforced tape, insulated conductors, and compression resistant interstitial filler rod;
• (d) a non-compressible filler material filling the interstices formed between the insulated conductors, compression resistant interstitial filler rod, and fiber reinforced tape;
• (e) a soft jacket comprising a polymeric material which encases and is bonded with the polymeric jacket;
• and
• (f) a first inner armor wire layer and second outer armor wire layer surround the soft jacket.

A method for manufacturing a wellbore cable comprising:

• (a) providing at least one insulated conductor comprising a polymeric insulating material wherein the insulating material is formed by extruding a first polymeric material layer having a first dielectric constant over a conductor, and then extruding a second polymeric material layer having a second dielectric constant over the first polymeric material layer;
• (b) providing at least one compression resistant filler rod;
• (c) disposing a filler material in the interstitial volumetric spaces formed between a compression resistant jacket containing carbon fibers, the compression resistant filler rod, and the insulated conductor;
• (d) serving a glass fiber reinforced polymeric tape over a cable core containing the insulated conductor, filler material, and compression resistant filler rods;
• (e) extruding a compression and creep resistant jacket comprising carbon fibers over the tape and cable core;
• (f) extruding a soft jacket using the same polymeric material as the compression and creep resistant jacket containing carbon fibers over the compression and creep resistant jacket containing carbon fibers;
• and
• (g) serving two counter helical metallic armor wire layers over the soft jacket.
