A method and a resulting cable (,) is disclosed which precludes fluid wicking within the interior of the cable (,) by impregnating the cable (,) with a sealing composition and curing the sealing composition therein. The cable (,) includes an ultimate strata (18), a penultimate strata (,) and a central strata (,) concentrically disposed. The central strata (,) includes a central signal transmission medium (,) separated from the penultimate strata (,) by a central insulator or dielectric (,). The penultimate strata (,) includes a braided sheath (,) circumscribing a braided conductor (,) and an insulator (,) interposed therebetween. The ultimate strata (,) surrounds the interior or the penultimate strata (,) and central strata (,) of the cable (,).

Apparatus and method for precluding fluid wicking

A method and a resulting cable (10) is disclosed which precludes fluid wicking within the interior of the cable (10) by impregnating the cable (10) with a sealing composition and curing the sealing composition therein. The cable (10) includes an ultimate strata (18), a penultimate strata (20) and a central strata (40) concentrically disposed. The central strata (40) includes a central signal transmission medium (44) separated from the penultimate strata (20) by a central insulator or dielectric (42). The penultimate strata (20) includes a braided sheath (32) circumscribing a braided conductor (22) and an insulator (30) interposed therebetween. The ultimate strata (18) surrounds the interior or the penultimate strata (20) and central strata (40) of the cable (10).
