Abstract
An internally sealable wire includes an elongate flexible body having a length and a plurality of electrically conductive strands disposed within an insulation jacket. The body includes an unsealed portion extending along a majority of the length of the body and at least one sealed portion positioned at a point along the length of the body. The unsealed portion includes open internal spaces defined between the strands and the insulation jacket, and the at least one sealed portion includes a filler material disposed within the internal spaces to effect a seal within the body and prevent the passage of fluid through the wire.
