to about 99 of the circumference of the cable core 206 a 206 d a polymeric insulating material 208 may be disposed on the inner armor wire layer 204 the cable core 206 a 206 b 206 c and 206 d and a portion of the outer armor wire layer 202 and may bond the armor wire layers 202 and 204 to the cable core 206 a d including the insulating layer of the cable core 206 a d the insulating material 208 may be formed from any suitable material such as but not limited to the following polyolefin or olefin base elastomer such as engage u00ae infuse u00ae etc thermoplastic vulcanizates tpvs such as santoprene u00ae and super tpvs and fluoro tpv f tpv silicone rubber acrylate rubber soft engineering plastics such as soft modified polypropylene sulfide pps or modified poly ether ether ketone peek soft fluoropolymer such as high melt flow etfe ethylene tetrafluoroethylene fluoropolymer fluoroelastomer such as dai el u2122 manufactured by daikin and thermoplastic fluoropolymers the radial thickness of the insulating material 208 and thus the radial spacing between the armor wire layers 202 and 204 may be varied to achieve torque balancing of the cables 200 a 200 d and or prevent torque imbalance of the cables 200 a 200 d as will.
