Armored cable with integral support

A cable comprising:

• an electrically conductive wire adjacent to a filler;
• an electrically conductive armor adjacent to the filler and the electrically conductive wire, the filler configured to apply a strong enough force to the electrically conductive wire to create an electrical connection between the electrically conductive wire and the electrically conductive armor;
• and
• a conductor core, the filler being adjacent to at least a portion of an exterior of the conductor core, the filler substantially filling a volume between the electrically conductive armor and the conductor core, the electrically conductive armor being free of a jacket on an exterior of the electrically conductive armor wherein the armor comprises a continuous strip helically around the filler and wherein the armor comprises a concave side facing the filler wherein portions of the filler fills concavities created by the concave side.

A cable comprising:

• an electrically conductive wire adjacent to a filler comprising at least one of the following:
• micro-spheres and voids;
• an electrically conductive armor adjacent to the filler and the electrically conductive wire, the filler configured to apply a strong enough force to the electrically conductive wire to create an electrical connection between the electrically conductive wire and the electrically conductive armor, the electrically conductive armor comprising a continuous helical strip having a concave side facing the filler wherein portions of the filler fills concavities created by the concave side;
• and
• a conductor core, the filler being adjacent to at least a portion of an exterior of the conductor core, the filler substantially filling a volume between the electrically conductive armor and the conductor core, the electrically conductive armor being free of a jacket on an exterior of the electrically conductive armor.
