Abstract
An isolated core cable for isolating a crush-sensitive core contained therein against a harsh environment, such as a fiber optic cable, a coaxial electric cable, a hydraulic line, or a pneumatic gas line, the cores therein being supported by a helically slit hard polymer tube inside a preferably braided fiber strength member. A resilient material may be wrapped around the cores inside the slit tube to further protect the cores from elongation and bending stresses.
