Cable to reduce optical fiber movement and methods to fabricate

A method for making an armored cable, comprising:

• forming a strip stock into an armor tubing;
• welding a seam of the armor tubing in a welding zone;
• inserting at least one of a first optical fiber or a first wire into a first end of a first guide tube, wherein:
• the first guide tube extends through the welding zone;
• the first guide tube protects the at least one of the first optical fiber or the first wire during the welding of the seam;
• and
• the first guide tube is not part of the armored cable after the making of the armored cable;
• and
• supporting the first guide tube within the armor tubing by a plurality of support legs such that the first guide tube does not contact the armor tubing.

A method for making an armored cable, comprising:

• forming a strip stock into an armor tubing;
• welding a seam of the armor tubing in a welding zone;
• applying an adhesive material to a welded portion of the armor tubing outside of the welding zone, wherein the adhesive material comprises a mixture of a first material and a second material and wherein applying the adhesive material to the armor tubing comprises:
• introducing the first material via a first injection tube that extends through the welding zone;
• introducing the second material via a second injection tube that extends through the welding zone;
• mixing the first material and the second material to form the mixture;
• and
• applying the mixture of the first material and the second material to an inner surface of the armor tubing;
• and
• inserting at least one of a first optical fiber or a first wire into a first end of a first guide tube, wherein:
• the first guide tube extends through the welding zone;
• the first guide tube protects the at least one of the first optical fiber or the first wire during the welding of the seam;
• the at least one of the first optical fiber or the first wire contacts the mixture after the at least one of the first optical fiber or the first wire exits a second end of the first guide tube;
• and
• the first guide tube is not part of the armored cable after the making of the armored cable.
