Method of making a cable
A cable that has a cable core with a first armor wire layer and a second armor wire layer. The second armor wire layer is segregated from the first armor wire layer, and an outer jacket is disposed about the second armor wire layer.
1. A method of making a cable, wherein the method comprises:
placing a first armor wire layer about a cable core and a first insulating layer;
placing a second insulating layer about the first armor wire layer;
shaping the second insulating layer to have a plurality of ridges or integrating a barrier into the second insulating layer;
placing a second armor wire layer about the second insulating layer, thereby, segregating the first armor wire layer from the second armor wire layer; and
placing an outer jacket about the second armor wire layer.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
heating the first insulating layer before the first armor wire layer is disposed thereabout, allowing the first armor wire layer to at least partially embed into the first insulating layer.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprising:
embedding the second armor wire layer into the second insulating layer by heating an outer portion of the second insulating layer that is disposed about an inner portion of the second insulating layer.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the barrier comprises a bondable tape, a cross-linked polymer, or a cabled yarn.
