ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are wellbore electric cable components, methods of manufacturing such components, and cables incorporating the components. Particularly, ruggedized optical fibers useful for forming slickline electric cables are described. The ruggedized optical fiber components contain one or more coated optical fibers, metallic conductors, non-fiber-reinforced resins, and long-fiber-reinforced resins. The optical fiber(s) are generally positioned in the center of the component, while the metallic conductors are helically disposed around the metallic conductors. The long-fiber-reinforced resin forms an outer jacket around the combination of optical fibers and metallic conductors. A non-fiber-reinforced resin is disposed directly upon the metallic conductors, between the conductors and long-fiber-reinforced resin.
