Patent ID: 7763802

Claim:
An electrical cable defining a longitudinal axis and usable with a well, comprising: a plurality of insulated primary power conductors extending along the cable and a shielded telemetric primary conductor extending along the cable and defining interstices between adjacent primary conductors, the insulated primary conductors and the telemetric primary conductor having approximately the same diameter, the telemetric primary conductor including a plurality of telemetry conductors; a plurality of insulated secondary conductors each having a diameter smaller than the diameter of each of the primary conductors and extending along the longitudinal axis of the cable, each of said secondary conductors at least partially nested in one of the interstices; a layer of inner armor wires surrounding said insulated primary conductors, said telemetric primary conductor, and said at least one insulated secondary conductor; a layer of outer armor wires surrounding the layer of inner armor wires, said primary conductors, said secondary conductor, and said armor wires defining interstices therebetween; a polymeric material disposed in the interstices formed between the inner armor wires and the outer armor wires and in interstitial spaces formed between the inner armor wire layer and insulated conductor, the polymeric material forming a continuously bonded layer which separates and encapsulates said inner armor wire layer and said outer armor wire layer; and an outer jacket disposed around and bonded with said polymeric material.
