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.
Claims8
A system, comprising:
- a cable having:
- a core;
- a jacket disposed around the core;
- and
- a plurality of discrete filler sections axially separated by a plurality of gaps along the core, the plurality of discrete filler sections supporting the core within the jacket at a radial position separated from the jacket, wherein the gaps are axially longer than the discrete filler sections.

A system, comprising:
- a cable having:
- a core;
- a jacket disposed around the core;
- and
- a plurality of discrete fillers positioned radially between the core and the jacket, the individual fillers being spirally wrapped around the core and separated axially by gaps, and wherein the gaps are axially longer than the discrete fillers.
