armor wires 506 in the individual conductors 500 alternatively a central member 510 with soft polymer insulation 512 is placed at the center of the three conductors 500 as shown in fig5 c when the three conductors 500 are cabled together the soft polymer 512 on the central element deforms to fill the interstitial space between the three conductors 500 the diameter of a circle passing through the centers of each of the three conductors 500 indicated by an arrow 514 is preferably approximately the same size as the individual diameter of each of the three conductors 500 which allows the cable to achieve torque balance by slight adjustments in the opposing lay angles of the armor wires 506 and the completed cable 500 as shown in fig5 d a final hard polymeric jacket 516 which may be pure polymer or short fiber amended polymer or another suitable material is extruded over the cabled conductors 500 to complete the cable 520 the cable 520 comprises a low weight torque balanced cable in a triad cable configuration this embodiment comprises only one layer of armor 506 in each conductor 500 of the triad cable the lay direction of the armor wire 506 is preferably opposite to the lay direction of the triad 509 to reach torque balance the triad configuration of the cable 520 provides several benefits including but not limited to keeping torque balance of the cable 520 minimizing the contact points of armor wires to minimize damage caused by armor wires 506 rubbing against each other and lowering the weight of the cable 520 by using only one layer of armor wire 506 in each conductor 500 the particular embodiments disclosed above are illustrative only as the.
