Method and System for a Down-hole Cable having a Liquid Bonding Material

A method of making a down-hole cable, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing at least one insulated conductor fully insulated by an insulation coating;
• positioning an armor shell exterior to the insulation coating, wherein the minor shell fully surrounds the insulated conductor;
• and
• applying a liquid bonding material between at least a portion of an exterior surface of the insulation coating and at least a portion of an interior surface of the armor shell, wherein the liquid bonding material creates a bond between the insulation coating and the armor shell.

A down-hole cable for use in a substantially vertical position, the down-hole cable comprising:

• at least one insulated conductor fully insulated by an insulation coating;
• an armor shell positioned exterior to the insulating coating and fully surrounding the insulated conductor;
• and
• an epoxy-based bonding material positioned between an exterior surface of the insulation coating and an interior surface of the armor shell, the bonding material non-compressively securing the insulated conductor to the interior surface of the armor shell with an adhesive bond, wherein the at least one insulated conductor is retained from movement respective to the armor shell by the adhesive bond when the down-hole cable is positioned substantially vertical.
