  • Publication number: 20260128191
    Abstract: A cable capable of communicating large amounts of data while withstanding high heat conditions without the need for PFAS substances. The cable includes conductors encompassed by insulation. The insulation may include a non-PFAS fluoropolymer or materials such as polymethyl pentene or crosslinked polyalkene. The insulation may be encapsulated by a bedding layer, a shielding layer, a braid layer and a jacket. The insulation is designed to withstand temperatures of at least 125 degrees Celsius to ensure a high throughput of data even in demanding conditions.

  • Patent number: 9747355
    Abstract: A high-temperature cable and method of making the same is provided. The high-temperature cable includes at least one elongated conductor portion. A fiber-reinforced resin is positioned radially about at least a portion of an exterior surface of the at least one elongated conductor portion. The high-temperature may optionally include a thin metal layer and/or an armor shell.

  • Publication number: 20110253408
    Abstract: A system and method for a down-hole cable with a liquid bonding system is provided. Generally, the system contains at least one insulated conductor fully insulated by an insulation coating. An armor shell is positioned exterior to the insulating coating and fully surrounds the insulated conductor. A liquid bonding material is applied between at least a portion of an exterior surface of the insulation coating and at least a portion of an interior surface of the armor shell, wherein the liquid bonding material creates a bond between the insulation coating and the armor shell.

  • Patent number: 7538275
    Abstract: A fire resistant electrical cable includes a conductor. Substantially applied around the conductor is an inorganic braid. A ceramifiable polymer is substantially applied over the jacket. The fire resistant electrical cable also includes a retaining jacket substantially applied over the ceramifiable polymer. Multiple fire resistant electrical cables may be combined within a single grouping jacket to provide multi-phase conductance.

  • Patent number: 7339115
    Abstract: The fire resistant electrical cable splice joins two electrical cables. The two electrical cables are joined by at least one connection. The connection is formed between at least two conductors, at least one conductor from each of the electrical cables. The connection connects the conductors mechanically and electrically. An insulating polymer, which is electrically nonconductive at temperatures normally associated with the presence of a fire, is substantially applied over the connection. The insulating polymer may be a ceramifiable silicone rubber.
