Abstract
A technique facilitates installation of cables in a variety of environments, including downhole environments. A cable is provided with a core surrounded by a protective jacket. In the radial space between the core and the protective jacket, a filler mechanism is deployed in the axial direction along the cable. The filler mechanism is designed to provide easy access to the core to facilitate coupling with various related components while limiting risk involved with exposing the core.
Claims20
A method of forming a cable, comprising:
- providing a jacket;
- locating a plurality of filler sections along the jacket such that sequential filler sections of the plurality of filler sections are separated in an axial direction by gaps;
- and
- supporting a core with the plurality of filler sections so the core is surrounded by the jacket at a spaced radial distance from the jacket.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a cable having:
- a core;
- a jacket disposed around the core;
- and
- a plurality of filler sections axially separated by a plurality of gaps along the core, the plurality of filler sections supporting the core within the jacket at a radial position separated from the jacket.
2 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a cable having:
- a core;
- a jacket disposed around the core;
- and
- a filler material positioned radially between the core and the jacket, the filler material being spirally wrapped around the core.
